What is a polynomial function

The video tutorial explains what polynomial functions are, starting with their definition and constraints. It highlights that polynomial functions cannot have negative or rational exponents and provides examples to illustrate valid polynomial functions. The tutorial also presents non-examples, such as absolute value functions and functions with negative or rational exponents, to clarify what does not qualify as a polynomial. The importance of understanding polynomial functions is emphasized for further learning in the course.
