Question

Rearrange like terms in this polynomial so like terms are next to each other

3-6x+4x^2+3x-6x^2-4

Answer 1

4x^2 - 6x^2 -6x + 3x +3 - 4

Explanation:

The terms here involve x^0, x, x^2.

Write the x^2 terms first: 4x^2 - 6x^2;

then write the x terms: -6x + 3x; and

then write the constants: 3 - 4

and so we have, in descending powers of x,

4x^2 - 6x^2 -6x + 3x +3 - 4
