A one-variable polynomial of degree n has the following form:anxn+an−1xn−1+...+a2x2+a1x1+a
where, the a's represent the coefficients and x represents the variable.
Now, consider the given options:
(a) x+1x can be rewritten as x+x−1, which is not a polynomial because the exponent of the variable x is −1 which is a negative number.
(b) √x+x+x2 can be rewritten as x12+x+x2, which is not a polynomial because the exponent of the variable x is 12, which is not a whole number.
(c) √2x+x3+3x2 is a mathematical expression consisting of a sum of terms, each term including a variable or variables raised to a power and multiplied by a coefficient. Also, the exponent of the variable x is a whole number.
Therefore, √2x+x3+3x2 is a polynomial.
(d) x2+x−2+2 which is not a polynomial because the exponent of the variable x is −2, which is a negative number.
Hence, the expression √2x+x3+3x2 is not a polynomial.
