Original question and givens

Integer polynomials have ascending coefficients f=[2, 15, -14, 1] and g=[2, -1, 1, 2], constant term first. Give the complete ascending coefficients of fg, potentially through degree 6, without truncation.

  • G001 — Integer polynomials have ascending coefficients f=[2, 15, -14, 1] and g=[2, -1, 1, 2], constant term first. Give the complete ascending coefficients of fg, potentially through degree 6, without truncation.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.
