Do you also think that f(x) = x^1 is exponential? How about f(x) = x^0?

Kind of irrelevant, because you could also ask "Do you also think that f(x) = x^1 is polynomial? How about f(x) = x^0?" The distinction was clearly between polynomial (specifically quadratic) and exponential, leaving those trivial cases out.
No. These are polynomials (in x).
