Question

The binomials shown below will be multiplied to produce a quadratic trinomial (x+p) (x+q)which part of the trinomial will equally the product of p and q?

Answer 1

B: The Constant Term

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\begin{gathered} \text{ We have that } \\ (x+p)(x+q)=x(x+q)+p(x+q) \\ =x^2+xq+xp+pq \\ =x^2+x(p+q)+pq \end{gathered}`

Thus, the part of the trinomial that's equal to the product of p and q is the constant

term!
