A polynomial is made up of the sum of one or more terms. Each term consists of a coefficient, which is a known positive or negative number or constant, multiplied by a number of variables, each raised to a non-negative integral power.

while
42y<sup>1/2</sup> is not a term of a polynomial, because the power (1/2) is not an integer.
