The correct option is C f(x)=ax2+bx+7, where a,b∈R
The polynomial function is of the form f(x)=anxn+an−1xn−1+an−2xn−2+⋯+a0
where n∈W and an≠0
an≠0 because only then we can have a polynomial of degree n otherwise the term containing xn would be equal to 0.
Hence clearly only f(x)=ax2+bx+7, where a,b∈R
is a polynomial function.
