a) x 2 2 2 x 2 = x 2 2 2 x 2 It is not a polynomial because exponent of x is - 2 which is not a whole number.
b) 2 x 1 = 2 x 1 2 1, It is not a polynomial because exponent of x is 1 2 which is not a whole number.
c) x 2 + 3 x 3 2 x + 3 x 3 2 1 2 = x 2 + 3 x, it is a polynomial because exponents of x are whole numbers.
d) x 1 x + 1 it is not a polynomial because it is a rational function.
