This document discusses the characteristics of polynomials and non-polynomials. It states that for an expression to be a polynomial, the variables cannot have negative or fractional exponents, and a variable cannot be in the denominator. It then provides examples of expressions and identifies whether they are polynomials or non-polynomials based on these criteria.

1. POLYNOMIALS

2. State whether the
following are
POLYNOMIALS
or
NOT POLYNOMIALS.

4. POLYNOMIAL

6. POLYNOMIAL

8. POLYNOMIAL

10. POLYNOMIAL

12. NOT POLYNOMIAL
Variables in a polynomial expression should not
have negative exponents.

14. NOT POLYNOMIAL
Variables in a polynomial expression should not
have fractional exponents.

16. NOT POLYNOMIAL
A polynomial expression
should not have a variable
in the denominator.

18. NOT POLYNOMIAL
Variables in a polynomial expression should not
have fractional exponents.

20. NOT POLYNOMIAL
A polynomial expression should not have a
variable in the denominator equivalent to a
variable with negative exponents.
