Which of the following is an example of a polynomial?

  1. 5x + 1

  2. 4x2 - 7

  3. 7 + sqrt(3)

  4. /3

The correct answer is: 4x2 - 7

A polynomial is an algebraic expression with one or more terms where the variables have non-negative integer exponents. Option A has two terms with a variable raised to the first power and a constant term, making it a polynomial. Option B also has two terms, both with a variable raised to the second power, making it a polynomial. Option C only contains a constant term and a square root, while option D is a function with a variable raised to a negative power, making them both not examples of polynomials.
