Answer:

a.) May or may not a polynomial function ( depends on c)

b.) Not a polynomial function.

c.) Not a polynomial function.

d.) It is a polynomial function.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial function is of the form - [tex]a_{n}x^{n} + a_{n-1} x^{n-1} + a_{n-2} x^{n-2} + .....+ a_{1}x + a_{0}[/tex]

where n is positive integer and n[tex]\neq[/tex] 0

a.)

P(x) = 2x³ + 32 - 4x + 4c

It may or may not a polynomial function because we did not know about the constant c.

b.)

H(x) = 4[tex]x^{\frac{1}{2} }[/tex] - 3x⁴

It is not a polynomial function because [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is not integer.

c.)

G(x) = 2[tex]x^{-3}[/tex] + 5

It is not a polynomial function because -5 is not a positive integer.

d.)

F(x) = 2x³ - 5x + 33x²

It is a polynomial function.

The standard form of a polynomial is expressed as;

[tex]p(x)=a_nx^n+x_{n-1}x^{n-1}+x_{n-2}x^{n-2}+...[/tex]

The leading power of a polynomial must be greater than 2 and must be a positive integer.

a) For the polynomial [tex]P(x)=2x^3+3x^2-4x+4c[/tex]

This is a polynomial since the leading degree of the polynomial is greater than 2 and a positive integer.

b) For the function [tex]G(x)=2x^{-3}+5[/tex]

This is not a polynomial because the leading degree of the polynomial is a negative integer

c) For the function [tex]H(x) =4x^{\frac{1}{2} }-3x^4[/tex]

This is not a polynomial because the leading degree of the polynomial is a fraction.

d) For the polynomial [tex]P(x)=2x^3-5x+3+3x^2[/tex]

This is a polynomial since the leading degree of the polynomial is greater than 2 and a positive integer.
