Question

(1/8x^2-1/4x-3/8)+(-1/2x^2-1/4x-1/2) Add the following polynomials

Answer 1

(1/8x^2-1/4x-3/8)+(-1/2x^2-1/4x-1/2)

\(\large \frac{1}{8}x^2-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{3}{8} \)
+
\(\large -\frac{1}{2}x^2-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{2} \)
_________________________________________________
\(\large (\frac{1}{8}+-\frac{1}{2})x^2+(-\frac{1}{4}+-\frac{1}{4})x+(-\frac{3}{8}+-\frac{1}{2}) \)

can you simplify from here?
