Whether the statement”A linear function is an example of a polynomial function” is true or false.

Answer to Problem 1RE
The above statement is true.
Explanation of Solution
A polynomial of degree one or less, including the zero polynomial is termed as the linear function.
If the function is in the form of
For example consider the function
Since the function has the highest degree one, so it is linear function and also a polynomial.
Consider
The above polynomial function is a constant function of degree zero and a constant function is also a linear function.
Therefore, a linear function can also be an example of a polynomial function depending upon the degree of the polynomial.
Hence, the above statement is true.
