Question

Zainab says $\frac{1}{x}+1$ is a polynomial . Do you agree or not justify your answer

Answer 1

Polynomial:

Polynomial is an algebraic expression in which the power of each variable is a whole number (or) a positive integer.

Given expression is $\frac{1}{x}+1$

$=x^{-1}+1$

exponent of variable $x=-1$
Since, the exponent of $x$ is not a positive integer , so it is not a polynomial
Hence, I do not agree with Zainab.
