The binomials shown below will be multiplied to produce a quadratic trinomial.
(x + p)(x + q)
Which part of the trinomial will equal the sum of p and q?
A. The constant term
B. The coefficient of the x-term
C. The degree
D. The coefficient of the x2-term

Respuesta :

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The part of the trinomial will equal the sum of p and q would be the coefficient term. We do it as follows:

(x + p)(x + q) 
x^2 + px + 1x +pq
x^2 + (p+q)x + pq

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer:

B
