If q(x) = x⁶ + x^(3/2) + 2, why is q(x) not a polynomial in x?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because x^(3/2) has a fractional exponent

In a polynomial in x, every exponent of x must be a non-negative integer: 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on. The terms x⁶ and 2 satisfy this rule, but x^(3/2) has the fractional exponent 3/2. Therefore q(x) is not a polynomial in x. The number of terms and the presence of a constant do not violate the definition.
