A student says that both \(4x^3-2x+1\) and \(x^{1/2}+3\) are polynomials. Why is the statement incorrect?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In \(x^{1/2}+3\), the exponent of the variable is \(1/2\), which is not a non-negative integer.

In a polynomial, every variable exponent must be a non-negative integer such as \(0,1,2,\dots\). Since \(x^{1/2}\) has exponent \(1/2\), it is not a polynomial. Negative coefficients are allowed. Exam tip: check exponents first.
