Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question asks if the expression is a polynomial, and since a polynomial is defined as a sum of coefficients and variables raised to non-negative integer powers, any expression that fits this definition is a polynomial. Therefore, the best choice is A, polynomial. The other choices, B, not a polynomial, C, trinomial, and D, binomial, are all potential types of polynomials, but they are not mutually exclusive and do not indicate whether the expression in question is a polynomial or not. The question only asks whether the expression is a polynomial or not. It does not provide enough information to determine whether it is a monomial, binomial, or trinomial. Therefore, the best choice is A) polynomial.
