Determine if the expression -5y^5-y^3 is a polynomial or not. If it is a polynomial, state the type and degree of the polynomial.

Yes, it is a polynomial, and the degree is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is a combination of terms separated using + or − signs and normally have exponents. So, this equation is a polynomial. The degree is just the highest exponential value, which is 5 because -5y is being raised to the 5th power

f(x) = x^3 -2x^2 -3x

x( x^2 -2x-3)

x( x^2 +x -3x -3)

x( x(x+1) -3(x+1))

x( x-3)( x+1)

so zeroes are 0, 3,-1
