Jan makes four claims about the twopolynomials Any 6x + 1 and 2x. The claims arelisted belowClaim 1 states that when 2x is added to 4xy + 5x +1 the sum is a polynomial.Claim 2 states that when 2x is subtractedfrom xy + 6x + 1 the difference is a polynomial.Claim 3 states that when 4xy + 5x + 1 is multipliedby 2x the product is a polynomial.Claim 4 states that when xy + 6x + 1 is divided by2x the quotient is a polynomialSelect all claims by Jan that are correct.

A polynomial is defined as an expression which is composed of variables, constants and exponents, that are combined using the mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division but is never division by a variable.

Therefore claim 4 is false.

When 2x is added, the resultant will be a polynomial.

when 2x is subtracted, the resultant will be a polynomial.

When multiplied by 2x also, the resutant will be a polynomial.
