If (p(x)=5x+4) and (q(x)=5x-6), what type of polynomial is (p(x)-q(x))?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Constant polynomial

p(x)-q(x)=(5x+4)-(5x-6)=5x+4-5x+6=10. No term containing x remains, so the result is a non-zero constant polynomial. It is not a zero polynomial, which would require the result to be 0. Exam tip: while subtracting polynomials, change the sign of every term in the second polynomial.
