Im assuming there is exponents so if im assuming correctly, then the answer would be 6x^4 - x^3 - 5x^2 + 10x + 5 because you would combine like terms.

Answer: The required sum is
6x^4-x^3-5x^2+10x+5.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the following sum:


S=(2x^4+x^3-4x^2+3)+(4x^4-2x^3-x^2+10x+2).

To find the sum, we need to add the coefficients of the same exponents of the unknown variable x.

The summation is as follows:


S\\\\=(2x^4+x^3-4x^2+3)+(4x^4-2x^3-x^2+10x+2)\\\\=(2+4)x^4+(1-2)x^3+(-4-1)x^2+10x+(3+2)\\\\=6x^4+(-1)x^3+(-5)x^2+10x+5\\\\=6x^4-x^3-5x^2+10x+5.

Thus, the required sum is
6x^4-x^3-5x^2+10x+5.
