Which of the following shows that polynomials are closed under subtraction when polynomial x + 5 is subtracted from 3x2 + 2x − 6
? 3x2 + x − 11 may or may not be a polynomial
3x2 + x − 11 will be a polynomial
3x2 + x − 1 will be a polynomial
3x2 + x − 1 may or may not be a polynomial
For this case we have the following polynomials: By subtracting both polynomials we have: What we must do is subtract terms of the same degree. We have then: Answer: will be a polynomial
