Question

how do you combine these polynomials? (5x^2+3x-4)+(3x^2-x+2)

Answer 1

Drop the parentheses, then add like terms

Answer 2

I don't know how...

Answer 3

\[(5x^2+3x-4)+(3x^2-x+2)\]\[5x^2+3x-4+3x^2-x+2\]\[8x^2+2x-2\]

Answer 4

8x^2+2x-2

Answer 5

Adding like terms means adding the exponents together, the whole numbers together...

Answer 6

or distribute 1 and then combine like terms

Answer 7

adding like terms is not adding the exponents together

Answer 8

Oh that sounded screwed...
Add the whole #s with exponents... Right?

Answer 9

Ok, now how do I do this one (2e^2-5e0+(7e-3e^20)?

Answer 10

2x+3x = 5x
2x^2 + 3x you can not combine because 2x has the 2nd power and 3x has the 1st power (not like terms)

Answer 11

It's hard to type w/ a broken finger, but that's what you're trying to get at..

Answer 12

I know especially when this is slow....

Answer 13

The system goes into overload...
