👉 In algebra, a nonconterminal is an element in a field that cannot be added to another element without changing the sum of the elements. For example, in the ring of integers modulo 3 (Z/3Z), 2 and -1 are nonconterminal because they cannot both be added together since adding them gives 0. In a ring of polynomials over a field F, if f(x) and g(x) are two polynomials with coefficients from F, then the polynomial
