in polynomials, all the exponents for the variable are positive
x / 3 = 1/3 x^1
3 / x = 3 x^-1
Hello, I'm hoping someone can explain this to me:
I'm ID-ing polynomials;
-x^7-5x^4+(3/x)= not a polynomial
.25x^3+3.9x^2-(x/3)= polynomial
Why is 3/x not but x/3 is?
Thanks a bunch! :)

OK, so then any unknown variable is negative, correct?
Thanks a bunch again :) I appreciate your help
