You can put this solution on YOUR website! Is the question this: Is the product of two binomials always a trinomial?
 If not, disregard this solution.
 
 Consider:
 (a+b)(a-b)=a^2-ab+ab-b^2=a^2-b^2. This is a binomial. Hence, it is not always true that the product of two binomials is a trinomial.
 
 However, it is true in many other cases:
 (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2
