State whether the function is a polynomial function or not. If it is, give its degree. If it is not, tell why not.
-$7 ( x - 1 ) ^ { 11 } ( x + 1 ) ^ { 3 }$
A) Yes; degree 14
B) Yes; degree 11
C) Yes; degree 7
D) Yes; degree 77

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The function is a polynomial because it is a product of polynomials, and its degree is the sum of the degrees of the factors, which is $11 + 3 = 14$.

State Whether the Function Is a Polynomial Function or Not 7(x−1)11(x+1)37 ( x - 1 ) ^ { 11 } ( x + 1 ) ^ { 3 }7(x−1)11(x+1)3
