f(x) is not a polynomial function. f(x) is a rational function composed of the quotient of two polynomial functions.
g(x) is a polynomial function because although it has a non-integer exponent, that exponent is not on a variable (unless you mis-typed it and it is supposed to be 5x^1/2) g(x) is degree 2.
h(x) is a polynomial function of degree 0. Remember so you can re-write
The other f(x) is a polynomial function of degree 3. Nothing says the coefficients have to be integers (or rational or even real, for that matter)
