Madourd:

C is not a polynomial, it is a monomial. Polynomial generally refers to having more terms that 2 or 3 (because after that the names get confusing lol), although technically binomials and above are polynomials. But yes the exponents do need to be integers.

monomial, binomial, trinomial, polynomial

Any number alone (like 5) is a monomial.



hahhahahahahahahahha. Wrong. Monomials are polynomials.



pol·y·no·mi·al
Mathematics.


An algebraic expression consisting of one or more summed terms, each term consisting of a constant multiplier and one or more variables raised to integral powers. For example, x^2 − 5x + 6 and 2p^3q + y are polynomials. Also called multinomial.
