Question

When multiplying a binomial by a trinomial, is the degree of the product
always 5? Explain.

Answer 1

Given that a binomial is multiplied by a trinomial.

A binomial means containing two terms normally

x+a

Trinomial is containing 3 terms may be

ax^2+bx+c

When we multiply we can get degree 3 also as shown above.

Hence the statement is false.

When a binomial is multiplied by a trinomial getting a product of degree 5 is only occasional and not always.
