B) polynomial function; $( \infty , \infty )$
C) polynomial function; $( 0 , \infty )$
D) polynomial function; $[ 1 , \infty )$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The function $f(x) = 5x - 1$ is a polynomial function because it is a linear function, which is a type of polynomial. Its domain is all real numbers, which is represented by $(-\infty, \infty)$ in interval notation.
