Question

Find the “missing terms” in the polynomial problems. Answers will have multiple terms.

1. (c^3 + c^2 - 5) + ( ) = c^2 + 2c - 7

2. (2d^2 + d) - ( ) = - d^3 + 3d - 1

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

Answer 1

1. (c^3 + c^2 - 5) + (-c^3 + 2c - 2 )= c^2 + 2c - 7

2. (2d^2 + d) - (d^3 + 2d^2 - 2d + 1) = - d^3 + 3d - 1

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