2. Polynomials
medium
Which of the following expressions are polynomials in one variable and which are not $?$ State reason for your answer. If the given expression is a polynomial, state whether it is a polynomial in one variable or not
$x^{2}+2 x y+y^{2}$
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
Given expression is a polynomial because the total exponent of the variable in each of its terms is $2$ which is a whole number. But, since the given expression is expressed with two variables $x$ and $y$ the polynomial is not a polynomial in one variable.
