Unveiling The Secrets: Distinguishing Polynomials From Non-Polynomials With Ease
Polynomials, composed of finite sums of non-negative integer powers of a variable, play a crucial role in mathematics. To determine if a function is a polynomial, check for the following: a finite degree, presence of a constant term, and leading coefficient. Functions that satisfy these conditions are polynomials, while those that do not, such as…
