Answer:


p(x) = 4x^4-9x^3-10x^2-24

Explanation:

I'm going to assume that your equation is
(5x^4-4x^3-2x^2+x-19) - (x^4+5x^3+8x^2+x+5)
So to evaluate it we need to simplify it. Find like terms and perform addition/subtraction on them.


p(x) = (5-1)x^4 + (-4-5)x^3+(-2-8)x^2+(1-1)x+(-19-5) \\ \to p(x) = 4x^4-9x^3-10x^2-24
