Question

Simplify the following polynomial and write the answer in standard form.

Answer 1

`3x^2-x+3`

Explanation:

`(x^2+3x+2)+(2x^2-4x+1)`

Now we open the brackets first

`x^2+3x+2+2x^2-4x+1`

We take the like terms together

Like terms are those terms which have same degree of x with them. Constant terms are also like terms

`x^2+2x^2+3x-4x+1+2`

Simplifying the like terms

`3x^2-4x+3`

Hence this is our answer
