1. What is a Polynomial?
Ans. A polynomial is an algebraic expression consisting of variables and coefficients, involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents.
2. How are polynomials classified?
Ans. Polynomials are classified based on the number of terms they contain. For example, a monomial has one term, a binomial has two terms, and a trinomial has three terms.

4. Can a polynomial have negative exponents?
Ans. No, a polynomial cannot have negative exponents. Negative exponents would make the expression a rational function rather than a polynomial.
5. How are polynomials used in real-life applications?
Ans. Polynomials are commonly used in various fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and computer science to model and solve real-life problems. They are used in areas like curve fitting, optimization, and data analysis.
