Q:

Which statement best demonstrates why the following is a non-example of a polynomial? 33 over 16xy − 62y−2xz − 35z2y2 The expression has a variable raised to a negative exponent. The expression has a negative coefficient. The expression has a variable raised to a fraction. The expression has a variable in the denominator of a fraction.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The expression has a variable raised to a negative exponent.Step-by-step explanation:The Expression is;33/(16xy − 62y−2xz − 35z2y2)This expression would be written as;33 × (16xy − 62y−2xz − 35z2y2)⁻¹ ; which shows it has a negative exponent Since the function which has variable in the denominator, then it has a negative exponent.Therefore, it is not a polynomial because all exponent in a polynomial must be positive and when denominator goes to numerator the power became -1 which is negative.
