Reena says that \(5x^2-3\sqrt{x}+1\) is a polynomial in \(x\). What is her mistake?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: In \(\sqrt{x}\), the exponent of \(x\) is \(\frac{1}{2}\), which is not a non-negative integer.

In a polynomial, variable exponents must be non-negative integers such as \(0,1,2,\ldots\). Here, \(\sqrt{x}=x^{1/2}\), so the expression is not a polynomial. Exam tip: rewrite radicals as fractional powers to check quickly.
