If f(x) is a polynomial of degree 7, and g(x) is a polynomial of degree 7, then what is the product of the minimum and the maximum possible degrees of f(x) + g(x)?

49

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) + g(x) is also a polynomial of degree 7, so the answer is 7*7 = 49.

49

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) + g(x) is also a polynomial of degree 7, so the answer is 7*7 = 49.

y-1

with the restriction y cannot equal -1

Step-by-step explanation:

y+1

y^1 -1

Noticing that the denominator is the difference of squares and factoring

y+1

(y+1)(y-1)

Canceling like terms
