Question

Let f(x) and g(x) be polynomials as shown below. Which of the following is true about f(x) and g(x)? f(x) and g(x) are not closed under multiplication because when multiplied, the result will not be a polynomial. f(x) and g(x) are not closed under multiplication because when multiplied, the result will be a polynomial. f(x) and g(x) are closed under multiplication because when multiplied, the result will not be a polynomial. f(x) and g(x) are closed under multiplication because when multiplied, the result will be a polynomial.

Answer 1

Answer:

  f(x) and g(x) are closed under multiplication because when multiplied, the result will be a polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The set of all polynomials is closed under addition, subtraction, and multiplication, because performing any of these operations on a pair of polynomials will give a polynomial result.

Comment on the question

The wording is a bit strange, because f(x) and g(x) are elements of a set (of polynomials), so cannot be said to be "closed." "Closed" is a property of a set with respect to some function, it is not a property of an element of the set.
