Add the following polynomials: (-5x² + 5x – 8) + (3xᶾ – 8x² + 6)

you should rewrite that.......

Group like terms, sucka!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2x⁵+-3xᶾ+-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not exactly like that, although I'm not sure what you did wrong. Since you don't have any \(x^5\) term to start with, you shouldn't end up with any \(x^5\) term.

-5xᶾ+5x-2+3xᶾ-8x²

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-5x²+5x-2+3xᶾ-8x²

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\large -5x^2\) and \(\large -8x^2\) are like terms because they have the same variable and exponent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-13x²+5x-2+3x
