Answer:

The polynomials are:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x² + x + 1C

x³ + 2x +√2E

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial: is an expression consisting of variables and coefficients, with the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables

  • A polynomial never division by a variable
  • A polynomial could be one term, and it could be just a constant

Let us solve the question

∵ The polynomial never division by a variable

∵ Answer A and B have a division in variable ⇒ ( [tex]\frac{1}{x^{2}+1 }[/tex] , [tex]\frac{2}{x^{3}}[/tex] )

∴ Answers A and B are not polynomials

∵ The polynomial has integer exponents of variables

∵ Answer D has a fraction exponent of x ⇒ [tex]x^{\frac{2}{3}}[/tex]

∴ Answer D is not a polynomial

∵  [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x² + x + 1 has a non-negative integer exponent of x

∵ There is no division by x

∴  [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x² + x + 1 is a polynomial

∵ x³ + 2x +√2 has a non-negative integer exponent of x

∵ There is no division by x

x³ + 2x +√2 is a polynomial

The polynomials are [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] x² + x + 1 and x³ + 2x +√2
