Which of the following is a polynomial expression in one variable?
4x+2
A polynomial is a mathematical expression of one or more algebraic terms each of which consists of a constant multiplied by one or more variables raised to a non-negative integral power. (a+bx+cx2)
4x+2 a polynomial expression of degree 1.
1(x+1) has a degree of -1, but the polynomial degree is always non-negative. Thus, it is not a polynomial.
4x+2 = 0 is a polynomial equation and not a polynomial expression.
x+y is a polynomial in 2 variables x and y.
