You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Here's an example:
\n" ); document.write( "P(x)=x^5+x^4+x+2
\n" ); document.write( "Q(x)=x^4+1
\n" ); document.write( "P(x)-Q(x)=x^5+1
\n" ); document.write( "Can you tell from this what the degree of P(x)-Q(x) will always be? \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
