Let m and n be a integer. Show that for all values of n there is a polynomial such that P(n) equals toma prime number. For instance for the polynomial $$x^{2}+1$$ for x=1 the result is equal to 2. Question is finding a polynomal that is not equals to a prime number for all values of x.

Assuming that the question is the following - Is there a polynomial $P(x)$ such that for any integer $n$, $P(n)$ is not prime? - yes, there are very simple examples: $P(x)=4x$ or $P(x)=x^2$ would both do the job.
