To answer this question, we need to take into account to sum the like terms in the polynomial. We can add both polynomials as follows:

As we can see, we order the polynomials in such a way that each of the like terms can be added to each other. We added the coefficients in this case:

8 + 1 = 9

-4 +2 = -2

4 + 6 = 10

Therefore, the result for this addition of polynomials is equal to:


9x^2-2x+10

Add the polynomials (8x² - 4x + 4) + ({x}^(2) + 2x + 6-example-1
