ASAP PLZ HELP!!

What polynomial should be subtracted from the polynomial y2–5y+1 to get the difference equal to:

A) 0
B)5
C)y^2
D)4y^2–y+7

Answer 1

Subtract each term from the polynomial until you find the matching polynomial.

Explanation:

Subtracting each answer option below yields the following polynomials:

A)
`y^2-5y+1-0= y^2-5y+1`

B)
`y^2-5y+1-5 = y^2-5y-4`

C)
`y^2-5y+1-y^2 = -5y+1`

D)
`y^2-5y+1 - (4y^2-y+7) \\y^2 -5y+1-4y^2+y-7\\-3y^2-4y-6`
