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

To combine terms with the same exponent
To sort the polynomials
To find the derivative of the polynomials
To convert the polynomials into arrays

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

Linked List
Array
Stack
Queue

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

O(m + n)
O(m * n)
O(m²)
O(n²)

What should be done when two terms with the same exponent are encountered during merging?

Add their coefficients
Multiply their coefficients
Subtract their coefficients
Ignore one of the terms

What happens if one polynomial is fully traversed before the other during merging?

Append the remaining terms of the other polynomial
Stop the merging process
Discard the remaining terms
Restart the merging process
