State whether the function is a polynomial function or not. If it is, give its degree. If it is not, tell why not.
-$f ( x ) = 1 + \frac { 6 } { x }$
A) Yes; degree 0
B) Yes; degree 6
C) Yes; degree 1
D) No; x is raised to a negative power

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The function $f(x) = 1 + \frac{6}{x}$ is not a polynomial function because it contains $x$ raised to a negative power (-1), which does not meet the definition of a polynomial function.
