Answer:
B. x^2x2 and 2x^22x2
Explanation:
The expression given is:
8+ x^2 - 4x^3 + 5x+ 2x^28+x2−4x3+5x+2x2
Like terms are terms in which their variables and the power of the variables (exponents) are the same.
While it is not necessary that the coefficient of the variables are the same, the power of the variables must be the same.
In that case, the like terms in the expression given are x^2x2 and 2x^22x2 .
Note: The question says 8+ x^2 - 4x^3 + 5x+ 2x^28+x2−4x3+5x+2x2 but the option has -4x^2−4x2 .
In case its actually -4x^2−4x2 instead of -4x^3−4x3 , then,
-4x^2−4x2 is also a like term and the answer will be D.
