Which of the following options correctly describes if the following polynomial forms a closed system under multiplication?
−3(5x+4y)=−15x−12y
1 answer
The polynomial −3(5x+4y)=−15x−12y does not form a closed system under multiplication. A closed system under multiplication would mean that if we multiply any two polynomials within the system, the result would still be in the system. However, in this case, multiplying the polynomial by any other polynomial would not result in a polynomial of the same form.
