Question 1186252: 1、Determine which functions are polynomial functions. For those that are, state the degree. For those that are not, tell why not.
g(X)=x^3/2 - x^2+2.
h(z)=√x(√x - 1).
F(X)= 5x^4 - πx^3+1/2.

To answer this question, a polynomial should be written in the standard polynomial form.

If the number of the terms is finite and if all indexes (degrees) at all the terms with x
are positive integer numbers, then the function is polynomial.

If there is at least one term with non-integer index/degree of x
and with non-zero coefficient, then the function is not a polynomial.


This problem is of the kind "open your eyes widely".
