Is $4^2x+2^3y$ a polynomial?
Given:
$4^2x+2^3y$
To do:
We have to check whether $4^2x+2^3y$ is a polynomial.
Solution:
Polynomials:
Polynomials are expressions in which each term is a constant multiplied by a variable raised to a whole number power.
To identify whether the given expression is polynomial, check if all the powers of the variables are whole numbers after simplification. If any of the powers is a fraction or negative integer then it's not a polynomial.
In $4^2x+2^3y$, both $x$ and $y$ are raised to the power $1$. Therefore, $4^2x+2^3y$ is a polynomial.
