Can anyone help me with solving this polynomial question? Use a horizontal format to find the sum. (12x^2-x)+11x^3+(-9x^3+x^2-7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(12x^2-x)+11x^3+(-9x^3+x^2-7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that what you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~12x^2-x\\ 11x^3\\ -9x^3~~+x^2-7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh maybe that is a vertical format

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vertical works too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

keep going, i'm checking for ur mistakes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

vertical is easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(12^{2}-x)+11x ^{3}+(-9x ^{3}+x ^{2}-7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so continuing with satellite's equation, u understand why he made it that way, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was told to combine like terms, and to work it out like it's written. We haven't learned anything about vertical format yet. I still cent seem to answer it correctly haha.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can't*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u add them all up like that... well its the same but its easier to c cz all the um like terms are lined up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so u know those tiny numbers i forgot wht they are called but whtever those stop numbers from making them into like terms, so when u add those things u basicially make it into vertical and add the numbers in this case

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 11+(-9) for the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and so on with the numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see wht u get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2x ^{3}+13x ^{2}-x-7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's basically it
