Question

Determine if the expression -w is a polynomial or not. If it is a polynomial, state thetype and degree of the polynomial.The given expression representsJa polynomial. The polynomial is aand has a degree of

Answer 1

SOLUTION

We want to show if the expression -w is a polynomial or not

-w can also be written as

$-1(w^1)$

Since it has one term, and the power or exponent is not negative number or fraction, it is a polynomial.

Since it has one term, it is a monomial

So it is a polynomial called a monomial.

Since it has an exponent or power of 1

It is a polynomial of degree 1
