SubDivision: What is (-5x^5 + 7x^4 -5x^3 + 8x^2 + 2x + 9) + (-8x^5 -5x^4 + 8x^3 + x^2 -9x + 2) =
Hi SubDivision
Do you think those brackets serve any purpose or can they just be removed?
Just add the like terms.
terms that are like, have the same letters (pronumerals) and each pronumeral must be raised to the same power.
In this question, the only pronumeral is x
If there are 2 terms where x is raised to the same power (exponent), they can be combined with addition or subtraction.
And, that is all that you can do in this question.
If you want to you can post back with your answer, or your attempt at an answer. And I'll help more.
Happy calculations!
