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. Addition, subtraction, and multiplication of integers and polynomials are closed operations.
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.
The sum of any two integers will always be an integer, i.e. if a and b are any two integers, a + b will be an integer. Closure property of integers under subtraction: The difference between any two integers will always be an integer, i.e. if a and b are any two integers, a – b will be an integer.
When a integer is divided by another integer, the result is not necessarily a integer. Thus, integers are not closed under division.
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.
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).
Closure Property: The closure property states that the sum of two polynomials is a polynomial. This means that if you add any two polynomials together, the result will always be another polynomial. For example, if you have the polynomials P(x)=x2+2 and Q(x)=3x+4, their sum P(x)+Q(x)=x2+3x+6 is also a polynomial.
