Question
State whether the given algebraic expression is polynomial? Justify.
10
Solution
In an algebraic expression, if the powers of the variables are whole numbers then the algebraic expression is a polynomial.
`10 = 10 xx 1 = 10 x^0`
Here, the power of x is 0, which is a whole numbers. So, 10 is a polynomial (or constant polynomial).
