Question 752380: Determine whether the expresssion is a polynomial, if it is state how many terms and variables the polynomial contains. Then state its degree.
The expression is: -5x+1/7x
This is a polynomial with 3 terms and 1 variable.
I am lost of how to find the degree though. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Determine whether the expresssion is a polynomial, if it is state how many terms and variables the polynomial contains. Then state its degree.
The expression is: -5x+(1/7)x
-----
If that "x" is not in the denominator the expression is a polynomial.
# of terms is two
Degree is 1
----------------
Alternate answer:
-5x + (1/(7x)) is not a polynomial
