Why is (7x^2+x^{-4}+3) not a polynomial?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it contains the term \(x^{-4}\), in which the exponent of \(x\) is negative

In a polynomial, the exponent of a variable must be a zero or a positive integer. Here, the term \(x^{-4}\) has exponent \(-4\), which is negative, so the given expression is not a polynomial. The terms \(7x^2\) and the constant \(3\) are valid polynomial terms, and having three terms is not a problem. Exam tip: Check the exponents of every variable when identifying a polynomial.
