Determine whether the following function is a polynomial function. If the function is a polynomial​ function, state its degree. If it is​ not, tell why not. Write the polynomial in standard form. Then identify the leading term and the constant term.

Step 1
Given:
f(x)=74x2
f(x)=74x2
A polynomial will be of the form a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3+anxn where nN
Step 2
74x2 is not a polynomial as the exponent of x is -2, which is not a natural number.
Since, f(x)=74x2 is not a pollinomial, its degree is not defined.
