Question

Which part of the trinomial will equal to the product of P and Q.

(x+p)(x+q)

would it be a constant term or the degree? maybe the coefficient of x-term or the coefficient of x^2-term?

Answer 1

It can be any part honestly but, generally people using the foil method write that in the last term

Answer 2

\[(x+p)(x+q)=x^2+(p+q)x+qp\]

Answer 3

would it be a constant term or the degree? maybe the coefficient of x-term or the coefficient of x^2-term

Answer 4

Oh constant term if p and q are not variables

Answer 5

thank you :)
