Question

subtract 37x^3+70x^2-51x+38 From 2x^3-87x^2+85x+76

Answer 1

What is most important when subtracting a polynomial is that one remember to distribute the negative. The subtraction will look like\[2x^3-87x^2+85x+76-(37x^3+70x^2-51x+38)\]Now we distribute the negative which will change the sign of each term of the polynomial in parentheses. \[2x^3-87x^2+85x+76-37x^3-70x^2+51x-38\]Now you collect like terms and simplify.

Answer 2

35x^3-17x^2-34x+38
