9-18.

Which of the following equations are polynomial functions? For each one that is not, justify why not.

$y = 3x^{2} + 2x^{2} + x$

$y = \left(x − 1\right)^{2}\left(x − 2\right)^{2}$

$y = x^{2} + 2 ^{x}$

$y = 3x − 1$

$y = \left(x − 2\right)^{2} − 1$

$y^{2} = \left(x − 2\right)^{2} − 1$

$y = \frac { 1 } { x ^ { 2 } } + \frac { 1 } { x } + \frac { 1 } { 2 }$

$y = \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + \frac { 1 } { 3 }$

$y = x$

$y = −7$

Answers:

The equations in (c), (f), and (g) are not polynomials. Refer to the Math Notes box for this lesson if you are confused.
