Which expression is a polynomial but neither a monomial nor a binomial?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 2x^2 + x - 5

Option C, \(2x^2+x-5\), has three terms: \(2x^2\), \(x\), and \(-5\). The powers of the variable are \(2\), \(1\), and \(0\), all of which are non-negative integers, so it is a polynomial. Since it has three terms, it is a trinomial; therefore, it is neither a monomial nor a binomial. Option B is a polynomial but has only two terms. Option D contains \(x^{-1}\), so it is not a polynomial. Exam tip: Before counting terms, check that no variable has a negative or fractional exponent.
