H(x)= 3x^4+2x—5/x+9x^3-7, is it a polynomial? If so write in standard form, degree, type, and leading coefficient.
The function H(x) = 3x⁴ + 2x — 5/x + 9x³ – 7 is not a polynomial function
What is a polynomial function?
A polynomial function is a function in an equation, such as the quadratic equation, cubic equation, etc., that only uses non–negative integer powers or only positive integer exponents of a variable.
A polynomial with an exponent of 1 is, for instance, 2x+5.
The given polynomial in standard form is written as
H(x) = 3x⁴ + 2x — 5/x + 9x³ – 7
H(x) = 3x⁴ + 9x³ + 2x – 7 – 5x⁻¹
this shows that on of the term has a negative exponent 5x⁻¹ and hence not a polynomial
