Response:
Andy is mistaken
Step-by-step explanation:
[See attachment for complete question]
The reason Andy is wrong is as follows.
Filling in the empty boxes with any real numbers does not ensure that the expression will qualify as a polynomial.
For example, if the expression is completed as follows:
(5x⁴ + 4x³)(4x^(2.7981) - 6) = A
This output does not represent a polynomial because the powers of x must all be non-negative integers.
Therefore, Andy's assertion is incorrect
