  1. Check for Polynomial: For (a)v(x)=1(5/x)(a) v(x) = 1 - (5/x), check if it's a polynomial. Polynomials can't have negative or fractional exponents, nor variables in the denominator. Since v(x)v(x) has xx in the denominator, it's not a polynomial.
  2. Identify Non-Polynomial: For (b)h(x)=6x(3)+5x(b) h(x) = 6x^{(-3)} + 5x, check if it's a polynomial.h(x)h(x) has a term with a negative exponent, which is not allowed in polynomials. So, h(x)h(x) is not a polynomial.
  3. Check for Polynomial: For (c)f(x)=3x(c) f(x) = -3\sqrt{x}, check if it's a polynomial. Polynomials can't have variables under a radical. Since f(x)f(x) has a square root of xx, it's not a polynomial.
  4. Identify Non-Polynomial: For (d)g(x)=4(x4)(x+2)(d) g(x) = 4(x-4)(x+2), check if it's a polynomial.\newlineThis function is written as a product of linear factors, which is a characteristic of polynomials.\newlineSo, g(x)g(x) is a polynomial.
