What is the primary purpose of merging two polynomials using linked lists?

To combine terms with the same exponent
To sort the terms in descending order
To find the derivative of the polynomials
To evaluate the polynomial at a given value

Which data structure is most suitable for representing polynomials in this context?

Array
Linked List
Stack
Queue

What happens when two terms with the same exponent are encountered during the merge?

The coefficients are added together
The term with the larger coefficient is kept
The terms are discarded
The exponents are added together

What is the time complexity of merging two sorted polynomial linked lists?

O(n + m)
O(n * m)
O(n²)
O(log n)

What is the key advantage of using a linked list for polynomial representation?

Dynamic memory allocation
Fixed size
Faster access to elements
Easier sorting
