OpenStudy (aum):
f(x)=9x^3+2x^2+8x-11
f(-x) = ?
Replace every instance of x by -x:
f(-x) = 9(-x)^3 + 2(-x)^2 + 8(-x) - 11
f(-x) = -9x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x - 11
f(x) = 9x^3 + 2x^2 + 8x - 11

subtract what?
OpenStudy (freckles):
f(-x)-f(x)
OpenStudy (freckles):
You are to take away the polynomial labeled f(x) from the polynomial labeled f(-x)
OpenStudy (freckles):
Aum are actually found f(-x) for you
The subtraction is left to you.

im confused
OpenStudy (freckles):
f(-x) is -9x^3+2x^2-9x+11
f(x) is 9x^3+2x^2+8x+11
OpenStudy (freckles):
You are to find f(-x)-f(x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so put the two together?
OpenStudy (freckles):
(-9x^3+2x^2-9x+11)-(9x^3+2x^2+8x+11)

You do the subtraction that it tells you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so just x is the answer?
OpenStudy (freckles):
(-9x^3+2x^2-8x+11)-(9x^3+2x^2+8x+11)
...
so -9-9=? 2-2=? -8-8=? 11-11=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it +11 for both of them? or -11?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
+11. got the answer. thanks!
