Polynomial is an algebraic expression where each term is a constant, a variable or a product of a variable in which the variable has a whole number exponent. Non Polynomial is: the exponent of a variable is not a whole number, and the variable is in the denominator.

To differentiate polynomials from non-polynomials, polynomials have the following conditions:

1)  NO fractional / rational exponents in variables.

Example:
non-polynomial

2)  NO variable as denominator in simplified form

Example:
non-polynomial

3)  NO radical expression in simplified form

Example:
non-polynomial

4)  NO negative exponents.

Example:  -5x⁻⁵ + 2
non-polynomial
5)  A constant is a polynomial.  It is called constant polynomial.

Example:  -25    polynomial

Non polynomial:
All that is not polynomial.
1) It may have a radical expression is simplified form.
2)  It may have a variable as denominator is simplified form.
3)  The variables may have negative or rational/fractional exponents.
