The closure property for polynomials states that the sum, difference, and product of two polynomials is also a polynomial. However, the closure property does not hold for division, as dividing two polynomials does not always result in a polynomial. Consider the following example: Let P(x)=x2+1 and Q(x)=x.
4) Division of Rational Numbers The closure property states that for any two rational numbers a and b, a ÷ b is also a rational number. The result is a rational number. But we know that any rational number a, a ÷ 0 is not defined. So rational numbers are not closed under division.
Polynomials are NOT closed under division (as you may get a variable in the denominator).
The correct term here is "closure property." This is a mathematical property stating that when you add or subtract polynomials, the result is always another polynomial. This is an important concept in algebra because it means that polynomials form a closed set under these operations.
The closure property of integers does not hold true for the division of integers as the division of two integers may not always result in an integer. For example, we know that 3 and 4 are integers but 3 ÷ 4 = 0.75 which is not an integer. Therefore, the closure property is not applicable to the division of integers.
CLOSURE: Polynomials will be closed under an operation if the operation produces another polynomial. Adding polynomials creates another polynomial. Subtracting polynomials creates another polynomail. Multiplying polynomials creates another polynomial.
Closure Property: When something is closed, the output will be the same type of object as the inputs. For instance, adding two integers will output an integer. Adding two polynomials will output a polynomial.
When a integer is divided by another integer, the result is not necessarily a integer. Thus, integers are not closed under division.
Ing to the Associative property, when 3 or more numbers are added or multiplied, the result (sum or the product) remains the same even if the numbers are grouped in a different way. Here, grouping is done with the help of brackets. This can be expressed as, a × (b × c) = (a × b) × c and a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c.
