Question

(1.3t³ +0.4t²-24t)-(0.6t² +8-18t)

What is the additive inverse of the polynomial being subtracted?
a. -0.6t² +(-8)+(-18t)
b. -0.6t² +(-8)+18t
c. -0.6t² +8-18t
d. 0.6t² +(-8)+18t

Answer 1

The additive inverse of the polynomial being subtracted is -0.6t² + (-8) + (-18t).

Step-by-step explanation:

The additive inverse of a polynomial is the polynomial with the opposite sign of each term. In this case, the polynomial being subtracted is 0.6t² + 8 - 18t. To find the additive inverse, we change the signs of each term, giving us -0.6t² + (-8) + (-18t). Therefore, the additive inverse of the polynomial being subtracted is a. -0.6t² + (-8) + (-18t).
