Question

Simplify the expression
(1-x+4x^2-8x^2)+(2x^3+x^2-6x-3)-(5x^3+8x^2)

Answer 1

Answer: -7x^2 - 6x - 2

Explanation:

This expression is equivalent to the sum of three terms:

1 - x + 4x^2, 2x^3 + x^2 - 6x - 3, and -5x^3 - 8x^2.

By combining like terms, the expression can be simplified to -7x^2 - 6x - 2.
