Question

If the coefficient of the expression axn is positive and the exponent is negative, the expression will be a polynomial.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

False according to Apex.

Answer 2

For this case we have the following expression:

`image`

Where,

a: coefficient of expression

n: exponent of the expression:

The expression is a polynomial if it meets the following conditions:

1) a ∈ (-∞, ∞)

2) n>0

We observe that the second condition is not fulfilled.

Therefore, the expression is not a polynomial.

Answer:

B. False: If the coefficient of the expression ax^n is positive and the exponent is negative, the expression will be a polynomial.
