D. 1/ x-5


Sagot :

Answer:

A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three requirements in a polynomial.

First, there must be no variable in the denominator of a fraction.

Second, there must be no radicals within the algebraic expression.

Third, variables must not have negative or fractional exponents.

Options B and C does not follow the third rule, while Option D does not follow the first rule. Thus, Option A is the only polynomial among the group of options.

Hope this helps!
