Question 472112: State whether the function is a polynomial function or not. If it is, give its degree. If it is not, tell why not.
+f%28x%29+=+Sqrt+x%28Sqrt+x-12%29+

a. No; it is a product
b. Yes; degree 2
c. Yes; degree 1
d. No; x is raised to non-integer power

Presuming



this is not a polynomial function because there is a nonzero sqrt(x) coefficient in it.
