If (p(x)=3x+10) and (q(x)=3x-4), what type of polynomial is (p(x)-q(x))?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Constant polynomial

p(x)-q(x)=(3x+10)-(3x-4)=3x+10-3x+4=14. The x-terms cancel, so the result, 14, is a non-zero constant polynomial. It is not a zero polynomial because its value is not 0. Exam tip: When subtracting a polynomial, change the sign of every term in the second polynomial.
