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.
