What is not polynomial?
A non-polynomial function or expression is one that cannot be written as a polynomial. Non-polynomial functions include trigonometric functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, root functions, and more.
Can 0 be a polynomial?
Like any constant zero can be considered as a constant polynimial. It is called the zero polynomial and have no degree.
