The lengths of two sides of a triangle are shown below:
Side 1: 3x2 - 4x - 1
Side 2: 4x - x2 + 5
The perimeter of the triangle is 5x3 - 2x2 + 3x - 8.
Part A: What is the total length of the two sides, 1 and 2, of the triangle? (4 points)
Part B: What is the length of the third side of the triangle? (4 points)
Part C: Do the answers for Part A and Part B show that the polynomials are closed under addition and subtraction? Justify your answer. (2 points)

show ur work i will find mistakes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont k how to do it
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
part A ,
Add side 1 and side 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got this for A 2x^2+4
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
yes its correct

and i got this for B
-5x^3+3x-4
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
its wrong
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
look again at the perimeter formula i gave
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
\[third side=perimeter-(first side +second side)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2x^3-4 this is what i got

nope
OpenStudy (mathmath333):
look at the third side formula
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5x^3-2^2+3x-8 - (2x^2+4)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i'm stuck on how to solve this
