Let p(x) and q(x) be polynomials as shown below.

P(x)=a0+a1x+a2x^2...+anx^n

q(x)=b0+b1x+b2x^2...bmx^m

Which of the following is always true regarding the product of p(x) and q(x)?

A. The product p(x) and q(x) is a real number

B. The product p(x) and q(x)is a binomial

C.The product p(x) and q(x) is a integer

D.The product p(x) and q(x)is a polynomial

plz i need help































Respuesta :

.product of two polynomials is a polynomial.

Answer:

Option: D is the correct answer.

        D.   The product p(x) and q(x) is a polynomial .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two polynomials p(x) and q(x) as follows:

[tex]p(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+....+a_nx^n[/tex]

[tex]q(x)=b_0+b_1x+b_2x^2+......+b_mx^m[/tex]

Now we do not know the degree of p(x) and q(x) i.e. we do not know the value of m and n respectively and also the coefficients.

Hence, we can't say that the product of these two polynomials is a real number, binomial (i.e. polynomial of degree 2) or a integer.

But we know that the product of two polynomial is always a polynomial may be a constant polynomial , zero polynomial or a polynomial of degree n.

    Hence, the product of p(x) and q(x) is a polynomial.
