A single variable polynomial involves terms of the form where c is the coefficient and d is the exponent.
The value of d must be a nonnegative whole number {0,1,2,3,...} is considered a monomial. Add or subtract a bunch of monomials to get a polynomial.
An example of a polynomial would be 2x^3 + 7x + 10 and what is shown in choice D.
Negative exponents are not allowed because it leads to dividing over x.
Example:
This rules out choices A and C.
