$x^2+\frac{3 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{x}}$
Since the power of the variable of all terms of a polynomial should be a whole number.
Then $x^2+\frac{3 x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{x}}$
$=x^2+3 x^{\frac{3}{2}-\frac{1}{2}}$
$=x^2+3 x^{\frac{2}{2}}$
$=x^2+3 x$
Here the powers of variable are whole numbers.
Therefore the given expression is a polynomial.
