The expression has a variable raised to a negative exponent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Expression is;

33 / (16xy - 62y-2xz - 35z2y2)

This expression would be written as;

33 * (16xy - 62y-2xz - 35z2y2) ⁻¹; which shows it has a negative exponent

Since the function which has variable in the denominator, then it has a negative exponent.

Therefore, it is not a polynomial because all exponent in a polynomial must be positive and when denominator goes to numerator the power became - 1 which is negative.
