Question

Write a polynomial that represents the difference between Stephanie's profit and Darnell's profit.

a) (Stephanie's Profit -Darnell's Profit )

b) (Darnell's Profit -Stephanie's Profit )

c) (Stephanie's Profit +Darnell's Profit )

d) (Stephanie's Profit timesDarnell's Profit )

Answer 1

The polynomial that represents the difference between Stephanie's profit and Darnell's profit is (Stephanie's Profit - Darnell's Profit).

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial that represents the difference between Stephanie's profit and Darnell's profit is: (Stephanie's Profit - Darnell's Profit) (option a).

This is because the question asks for the difference, which can be found by subtracting Darnell's profit from Stephanie's profit.

For example, if Stephanie's profit is represented by the polynomial 3x^2 + 4x + 5 and Darnell's profit is represented by the polynomial 2x^2 - 3x - 1, then the difference between Stephanie's profit and Darnell's profit can be represented as: (3x^2 + 4x + 5) - (2x^2 - 3x - 1).
