Simplify the following polynomial and write the answer in standard form. (2x^(2) -4x+3) + ( x^(2) -4x-4)

Question

Simplify the following polynomial and write the answer in standard form.

(2
`x^(2) -4x+3) + ( x^(2) -4x-4`)

Answer 1

(2x² - 4x + 3) + (x² - 4x - 4)
2x² + x² - 4x - 4x + 3 - 4
3x² - 8x - 1

Answer 2

`(2x^2-4x+3)+(x^2-4x-4)=\\ 2x^2-4x+3+x^2-4x-4=\\ 3x^2-8x-1`
