1.

This expression is a rational expression since both the numerator (x 2+3x+2) and
denominator (x+4) are polynomials with exponents, variables, and constants.
2. Yes, this is a rational expression as 1 is termed as x that has an exponent of 1 or being a
constant itself and the denominator being 3x2 where both are considered as
polynomials.
3. This expression has both polynomials as x2+4x-3 (numerator) and 2 (denominator) being
a constant alone makes a rational expression.
4. This is not a ration expression because in the numerator, a square-root of a variable is
not allowed and not considered as polynomial. While the denominator, it is considered
a polynomial however, overall, it is not a rational expression.
