To determine which of the given functions is a polynomial, we need to ensure that they consist only of terms with non-negative integer exponents of (x). A polynomial can be expressed in the general form:

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

 

Let's analyze each function:

A.  

This is not a polynomial because the term has a fractional exponent.

 

B.

This is not a polynomial. The term
