A trinomial is a polynomial that has three terms.

Let the unknown trinomial be represented by A

Thus, the difference between the two trinomials as stated in the question will be represented mathematically as;


\begin{gathered} A-(3x^2-2x+7)=5x^2+11x-16 \\ \text{Making A the subject of the formula, we have} \\ A=(5x^2+11x-16)+(3x^2-2x+7) \\ \operatorname{Re}\text{arranging and collecting the like terms, we have;} \\ A=5x^2+3x^2+11x-2x-16+7 \\ A=8x^2+9x-9 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the expression of the other trinomial is;


A=8x^2+9x-9

The correct answer is option C.
