The binomials shown below will be multiplied to produce a quadratic trinomial.

(x + p) (x + q)

Which part of the trinomial will equal the sum of p and q?

A. The constant term

B. The coefficient of the x-term

C. The degree

D. The coefficient of the x2-term

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The part of the trinomial will equal the sum of p and q would be the coefficient term. We do it as follows:

(x + p) (x + q)

x^2 + px + 1x + pq

x^2 + (p+q) x + pq

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
