Consider the polynomial p(x)=3x2−2x+1p(x)=3x^{2}-2x+1 and the expression q(x)=p(x)−p(x)+7q(x)=p(x)-p(x)+7. (i) Simplify q(x)q(x). (ii) Identify the zero polynomial that is present within the expression and explain why it is called so. (iii) What is the degree of q(x)q(x)? Give reasons for your answer.
