Question

Determine if the expression - m²/7 is a polynomial or not.

Answer 1

We want to determine if

`(m^2)/(7)`

is a polynomial, now this can be written as

`(1)/(7)m^2`

Since the coefficient is a fraction, but the exponent which is 2 is not a fraction or a negative number, it is a one term polynomial known as monomial.

Hence it is a polynomial called a monomial

Since the highest power is 2

It is a polynomial of degree 2
