This would be the closure property.

The difference between
(6x^3 + x^2 - 4x + 9) and
(6x^3 + x^2 - 4x + 7) is 2 .

2 is a polynomial of degree 0, so this example would appear to support the hypothesis in the question.


We can see one more example


(2x^2 -3)-(3x^2 +4) = -x^2-7

So again we get a polynomial.


This property is called as the closure property.
