Question:
In a polynomial, the exponents of the variables are always
(a) integers
(b) positive integers
(c) non-negative integers
(d) non-positive integers
Solution:
(c) In a polynomial, the exponents of the variables are either positive integers or 0. Constant term C can be written as C x°. We do not consider the
expressions as a polynomial which consist of the variables having negative/fractional exponent.
