Which of the following expressions is a polynomial in one variable of degree 4, although it is not written in expanded form?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(x^2(x^2+1)\)
\(x^2(x^2+1)=x^4+x^2\), so the highest power of the variable is 4 and all powers are non-negative integers. Option C has degree 5, while B and D involve fractional and negative powers. Exam tip: check exponents first.
