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)?

AThe product p(x) and q(x) is a real number

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


plz i need help































Verified Answer :

.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:

\(p(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+....+a_nx^n\)

\(q(x)=b_0+b_1x+b_2x^2+......+b_mx^m\)

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.
