Show that $mathbb{Z}[x] to mathbb{Z}[x]/(2) times mathbb{Z}[x]/(x)$ is not surjective.

In Aluffi's book it says that $mathbb{Z}[x] to mathbb{Z}[x]/(2) times mathbb{Z}[x]/(x)$ is not surjective. To prove that I need to know how that means at all! Why it is not surjective if for any polynomial $q(x)$ we can write $(q(x)+2n_1, q(x)+n_2x)$?

$begingroup$

The product on the right hand side is generated by $(1,0)$ and $(0,1)$. So the map is surjective if and only if these are in the image of the map, i.e. if there exist polynomials $f,ginBbb{Z}[x]$ such that
$$f longmapsto (1,0)qquadtext{ and }qquad g longmapsto (0,1).$$
Show that this is impossible.

    I could understand now their meanings but still don't understand the meaning for surjection esp because the rhs is 'double'-element. To try to show that (first) it is surjective (then fail), so we try to find a polynomial such that simultaneously (??) is an integer and a polynomial with integer coefficients mod 2? But it is not intersection it is product.
