Q. Which of the following are polynomials?(Select all that apply)A 21x2+7x+4B x−2+23x−99C 5x2−12xD x21+5x−12
Define Polynomial: Identify the definition of a polynomial: A polynomial is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.
Option A Analysis: Analyze option A: (21)x2+7x+4. All terms have non-negative integer exponents and involve allowed operations.
Option B Analysis: Analyze option B: x−2+23x−99. The term x−2 has a negative exponent, which is not allowed in polynomials.
Option C Analysis: Analyze option C: 5x2−12x. All terms have non-negative integer exponents and involve allowed operations.
Option D Analysis: Analyze option D: x21+5x−12. The term x21 can be rewritten as x−2, which has a negative exponent, not allowed in polynomials.
