Question

What is the difference of the two polynomials?
(9x2 + 8x) - (2x2 + 3x)

Answer 1

7x^2 + 5x.

Explanation:

I just took the test and got a 100%. :)

Answer 2

7x^2+5x

Explanation:

Given

Polynomial 1: 9x^2+8x

Polynomial 2: 2x^2+3x

We have to find subtraction of both

So,

9x^2+8x - (2x^2+3x)

First of all the brackets will be eliminated by multilying the minus sign

9x^2+8x-2x^2-3x

The terms with same power of variable will be written together

9x^2-2x^2+8x-3x

=7x^2+5x ..
