Which of the following statement is not always true

A. The leading coefficient and the degree are the only determining factors in the end behavior of the polynomial function.

B. A function is odd if every X in the denominator -F(x) equals F (-x)therefore every odd degree polynomial function is also an odd function

C.If f(x)and g(x) are polynomials then the products is a polynomial

D. a polynomial function with an arctic must have at least one real zero

Which of the following statement is not always true A. The leading coefficient and-example-1

Final answer:

If you multiply the polynomials (x - 1) and (x + 1), you get the function x^2 - 1 which is not a polynomial. The statement that is not always true is option C: If f(x) and g(x) are polynomials, then the product is a polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is not always true is option C: If f(x) and g(x) are polynomials, then the product is a polynomial.

This statement is not always true because the product of two polynomials may result in a non-polynomial function. For example, if you multiply the polynomials (x - 1) and (x + 1), you get the function x^2 - 1 which is not a polynomial.

Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
