a)

x² - 4x + 5 + 7x² + 2x - 3

8x² - 2x + 2


b)

7x² + 4x - 6 - (2x² - 3x + 1)

7x² + 4x - 6 - 2x² + 3x - 1

5x² + 7x - 7

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

a) You must sum terms with same exponents, therefore, you have that the sum of these two polynomials is:


(x^(2)-4x+5)+(7x^(2)+2x-3)


8x^(2) -2x+2

b) First, you must mulitply the signs of the second polynomial by the negative sign, and them, you apply an algebraic sum. Therefore, the result is:


(7x^(2)+4x-6-2x^(2)+3x-1) \\ 5x^(2) +7x-7

The answers are: a)
8x^(2) -2x+2; b)
5x^(2) +7x-7
