Q. 23 - Precalculus Enhanced with Graphing Utilities

Question

In Problems 15–26, determine which functions are polynomial functions. For those that are, state the degree. For those that are not, tell

why not.

$F\left(x\right)=5x^4-{\mathrm{\pi x}}^3+\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

 F is a polynomial function of degree $4$ .

Step 1: Given information

$F\left(x\right)=5x^4-{\mathrm{\pi x}}^3+\frac{1}{2}$

Step 2: Calculation

$F\left(x\right)=5x^4-{\mathrm{\pi x}}^3+\frac{1}{2}$

 $F$ is a polynomial function of degree $4$
