the problem is:(13y^3+2y^2-8y)-(2y^3+4y^2-7y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 15y^3-2y^2+15

OpenStudy (aripotta):

one sec, lemme work it out

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no :/

OpenStudy (aripotta):

did you remember to change the signs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol no oops.!

OpenStudy (aripotta):

always look at the function lol. if it's minus, you have to change the signs. if it's plus, they stay the same

OpenStudy (aripotta):

tell me what you get after changing them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 11y^3-6y^2+15

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no .-.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

11y^3 is right, everything else isn't lol

OpenStudy (aripotta):

2y^2 - 4y^2 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes. -2y^2 and -8y + 7y = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 11y^3-2y^2-1

OpenStudy (aripotta):

not -1. there's a y there. so it's 11y^3 - 2y^2 - y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

kk. thank ya.
