Question

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

Answer 1

you should rewrite that.......

Answer 2

Group like terms, sucka!

Answer 3

-2x⁵+-3xᶾ+-2

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

-5xᶾ+5x-2+3xᶾ-8x²

Answer 6

-5x²+5x-2+3xᶾ-8x²

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

-13x²+5x-2+3x

Answer 9

thank you
