Answer: First option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Price of base ticket for a football game is given by

$p(x)=15x+10$

Service charge modeled by the function is given by

$c(x)=5x+2$

We need to find the total cost of a ticket :

p(x) + c(x)

= 15x+10+5x+2

=20x+12

So, we have used Addition operation on the polynomials.

Hence, First option is correct.

The total cost of the ticket is the sum of the base ticket price, p(x) = 15x + 10, and the service charge, c(x) = 5x + 2. Therefore, from the word sum, the operation involved is Addition. This is the first among the choices given.
