Simplify and put in standard form http://prntscr.com/ifuto9 I don't really understand this topic, so extra help would be appreciated. :)

@Angle

dude:

For this you want to distribute the negative in front of the second equation

dude:

second term*

Aureo:

Okay. That makes sense

dude:

Yeah, so \(-(7x^5+2x^4-12+6x-5x^3+x^2)\\ => -7x^5-2x^4+12-6x+5x^3-x^2\) Then you can simply combine like terms

Aureo:

Ah, okay.

Aureo:

Would it be -5x^5 - 5x^4 - 7x + 20?

dude:

\(2x^5+x^3-3x^4-x+8\\ -7x^5-2x^4+12-6x+5x^3-x^2\) => \(-5x^5-5x^4\color{red}{+6x^3-x^2}-7x+20\) You forgot those

Aureo:

Ooooh

Aureo:

Thanks dude

dude:

Np :D
