Question 2 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

What did you include in your response? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
The degree of the product of the trinomials is 4 because the degree of each trinomial is 2.
B
The maximum number of terms in the product of the trinomials is 5.
C
There can be an x4 term, an x3 term, an x2 term, an x term, and a constant term.

Explanation

Each trinomial has degree 2, so the product has degree 2 + 2 = 4. A polynomial of degree 4 can have at most five terms: an x⁴ term, an x³ term, an x² term, an x term, and a constant term. Thus all three statements describe the product.
