Question

In Problems 15–26, determine which functions are polynomial functions. For those that are, state the degree. For those that are not, tell

why not.

$h\left(x\right)=3-\frac{1}{2}x$

Short answer

$h$ is a polynomial function of degree$1$

Step-by-step solution

Given information

$h\left(x\right)=3-\frac{1}{2}x$

Calculation

$$\begin{gathered} h\left(x\right)=3-\frac{1}{2}x \\ =3-\frac{x}{2} \end{gathered}$$

$h$is a polynomial function of degree$1$
