Which of the following expressions is a polynomial in one variable \(x\) of degree 4?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(7x^4-3x^2+x-9\)
In a polynomial, every exponent of \(x\) must be a non-negative integer. In option B, the greatest exponent is 4, so its degree is 4. A, C and D contain negative or fractional exponents. Exam tip: check exponents first.
