Which of the following is a polynomial in (x) but not a linear polynomial in (x)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2+4\)

In \(x^2+4\), the powers of \(x\) are 2 and 0, which are non-negative integers; therefore, it is a polynomial. Its highest power is 2, so it is a quadratic polynomial, not a linear polynomial. \(5x-2\) is linear because its degree is 1. \(\frac{1}{x}+1\) and \(\sqrt{x}+2\) are not polynomials because they contain powers \(-1\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\), respectively. Exam tip: the exponent of a variable in a polynomial must be 0 or a positive integer.
