I suspect that the answer is 13x9 + x + 5 + 4/x4

Yes.
Usually the sum will have the same degree as the highest degree of the polynomials that are added. However, it is also possible for the highest term to cancel, for example if one polynomial has an x3, and the other a -x3. In this case, the sum will have a lower degree.
The question cannot be answered because the ratio of the polynomials cannot simplify to "3x-12x plus 1" since that is not a simplified form: it simplifies to -9x + 1.
Yes. Here is an example: P1 = 5x4 + 3x3; P2 = -5x4 -2
The sum of two polynomials is always a polynomial. Therefore, it follows that the sum of more than two polynomials is also a polynomial.

Yes.
It means the sum of several monomials.
No. Even if the answer is zero, zero is still a polynomial.

To add polynomials , simply combine similar terms. Combine similar terms get the sum of the numerical coefficients and affix the same literal coefficient .

It is called the property of "closure".
Yes. Note that specifically, the sum might be a constant (just a number), or even zero, but it is convenient to include those in the definition of "polynomial".
The first 6 multiples of 9 are 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 and 54. Their sum (total) is 189. In other words, 1x9 + 2x9 + 3x9 + 4x9 + 5x9 + 6x9 = 21x9 = 189.
