HELP PLS I FORGOT LOL TYSM! Megan argues that (5m-3)+(2m+4) models the closure property. What reasoning could Megan use to argue that addition of polynomials is closed?

A.) The coefficients of the sum are whole numbers and the

sum is a polynomial.

B.) The coefficients of the product are integers and the product is a polynomial.

C.) The exponents of the sum are whole numbers and the sum is a polynomial.

D.) The exponents of the sum are integers and the sum is a polynomial.

E.) The terms in the expression are rational numbers in the sum is a polynomial.

A. The coefficients of the sum are whole numbers and the sum is a polynomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

The approach to demonstrate the closure property for the sum consists in defining what a polynomial is and demonstrate that the sum of two polynomials with integer coefficients is equal to a polynomial with integer coefficients. We proceed to show the proof below:

1) , Given

2) Definition of addition

3) Definition of substraction/Associative and Commutative properties

4) Distributive property/Definition of substraction

5) Definition of addition/Result

Hence, the coefficients of the sum are whole numbers and the sum is a polynomial. The correct answer is A.
