Solution

The correct option is C f(x)=ax2+bx+7, where a,bR
The polynomial function is of the form f(x)=anxn+an1xn1+an2xn2++a0
where nW and an0

an0 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,bR
is a polynomial function.
