Q1. Which one is not a polynomial?
A polynomial must have variables with non-negative integer exponents.

  • a. 4x2+2x−14x^2 + 2x - 1: Exponents are 2, 1, 0. This is a polynomial.
  • b. y+3y=y+3y−1y + \frac{3}{y} = y + 3y^{-1}: The exponent of yy is −1-1, which is not a non-negative integer. This is not a polynomial.
  • c. x3−1x^3 - 1: Exponents are 3, 0. This is a polynomial.
  • d. $y^2 + 5y +
