What is the restriction in the determining if the given equation is a polynomial?

Polynomials are formed from sums of power functions – with one restriction. The restriction is that the powers must be non-negative integers – simple numbers like 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.

Step-by-step explanation:

part a

x     y

0     8

1     7.5

2     7

3     6.5

4     6

5     5.5  

for every hour i deducted .5 inches from the length of the candle

part b

it is a function because for every x value there is only one y value

part   c

for every x value there is only one y value

x       y

0       8

1       7.6

2       7.2
