Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression $- 6 y ^ { 6 } - \sqrt { 2 }$ is a polynomial because it consists of terms with non-negative integer exponents. The degree of the polynomial is determined by the highest power of $y$, which is 6.

Determine Whether the Expression Is a Polynomial −6y6−2- 6 y ^ { 6 } - \sqrt { 2 }−6y6−2​
