DO ANY BODY KNOW HOW TOO ADD AND SUBARCAT POLYNOMIALS

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes, you add and subtract them just like real numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To add polynomials, you must clear the parenthesis, combine and add the like terms. In some cases you will need to remember the order of operations. Remember, when adding and subtracting like parts, the variable never changes. Here are a couple of examples: (5x + 7y) + (2x - 1y) = 5x + 7y + 2x - 1y ----- (Clear the parenthesis) =5x + 2x + 7y - 1y ----- (Combine the like terms) = 7x + 6y --- (Add like terms) Another Example: (y2 - 3y + 6) + (y - 3y 2 + y3) y2 - 3y + 6+ y - 3y2 + y3 ---- (Clear the parenthesis) y3 + y2 - 3y2 - 3y + y + 6----- (Combine the like terms) y3 - 2y2 - 2y + 6---- (Add like terms) Subtracting Polynomials To subtract polynomials, you must change the sign of terms being subtracted, clear the parenthesis, and combine the like terms. Here's an example: (4x2 - 4) - (x2 + 4x - 4) (4x2 - 4) + (-x2 - 4x + 4) ---- (Change the signs) 4x2 - 4 + -x2 - 4x + 4 ---- (Clear the parenthesis) 4x2 -x2 - 4x- 4 + 4 -- ----- (Combine the like terms) 3x2 - 4x Another Example: (5x2 + 2x +1) - ( 3x2 – 4x –2 ) 5x2 + 2x +1 - 3x2 + 4x +2 --(Change the signs and clear the parenthesis) 5x2 - 3x2 + 2x+ 4x+1 + 2 --(Combine the like terms) 2x2+ 6x +3

-3KTO THE SECOND POWER +AK AND 11KTO THE SENCOND POWER -2K

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$-3k^2 +ak$$$$11k^2-2k$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YEP WAT AND -3K TO THE THIRD POWER +4K AND 11K TO THE SECOND POWER -2K

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Please unlock your caps :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does the and stand for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk and i did it shullpartrol

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u welcome skull head

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Can you type out the polynomials that you want to add? The whole idea is to add "similar" terms.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat do u mean by tht

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said what and -3k to the third + 4k and 11k to the 2nd power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does that mean
