Which option gives the correct general condition for a polynomial?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The powers of the variable are zero or positive integers

The governing concept is the general definition of a polynomial in one variable. Its form may be written as a₀ + a₁x + a₂x² + ... + aₙxⁿ, where the exponents 0, 1, 2, ..., n are non-negative integers and the coefficients are permitted numbers, commonly real numbers at this level. Therefore option C states the correct general condition. Negative exponents correspond to reciprocal or denominator forms and are excluded. Fractional exponents produce radical-type expressions and are also excluded. A variable does not have to be in a denominator; in fact, placing it there usually creates a negative power. Hence options A, B, and D describe conditions incompatible with the standard polynomial definition.
