The sum of polynomials of degrees m and n has degree max[m,n].(a) True(b) False(c) Can’t Say(d) None of the mentionedI got this question in a national level competition.I need to ask this question from Polynomial and Modular Arithmetic- III topic in section Basic Concepts in Number Theory and Finite Fields of Cryptograph & Network Security

Answer»

The correct option is (c) Can’t Say

Easiest explanation: True when m is not equal to n; in that case the highest degree coefficient is of degree MAX[m,n]. But false in GENERAL when m = n, because the highest-degree coefficients might cancel (be ADDITIVE INVERSES).
