To determine which of the given functions is a polynomial, we need to identify if the functions consist only of terms with non-negative integer exponents. A polynomial takes the form:

where () are constants, and (n) is a non-negative integer.

 

Let's analyze each function:

A.

This is a polynomial because all terms have non-negative integer exponents (5, 2, and 0).

 

B.

This is not a polynomial. The expression
