(x + p)(x + q)

Which part of the trinomial will equal the sum of p and q?

AThe constant term
BThe coefficient of the x-term
CThe degree
DThe coefficient of the x2-term

Verified Answer :

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The part of the trinomial will equal the sum of p and q would be the coefficient term. We do it as follows:

(x + p)(x + q) 
x^2 + px + 1x +pq
x^2 + (p+q)x + pq

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
