Assume we have two polynomials $p(x),q(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ irreducible in $\mathbb{Q}[x]$ having degrees $m, n$ respectively. I am trying to prove that $p(x)*q(x)+ x^{m+n}$ is irreducible. Or it is not? In such case, do you have any idea how to make from $p$ and $q$ an irreducible polynomial?

Even with $p,q$ not associated: take $p(x)=x$, $q(x)=x+1$. Then $$x(x+1)+x^2=x(2x+1)$$ is factored.
