Question

what are the steps to simplifying a polynomial????

Answer 1

First expand the brackets (ie get rid of them)
Then group all like terms and add the constants.
ie, if you had: 3x(2+4x)+12(1+x)+3 :
Expand to get: \[6x+12x^2+12+12x+3\]
Group all the like terms and add the constants: \[12x^2 +(6+12)x+15\] so you will get:\[12x^2 +18x+15\]
