Answer:

3. - 8n² -8n + 3

Explanation:

(4n^4 - 8n +4) - (8n² + 4n^4 +1)

Firstly, open the brackets.

= 4n^4 - 8n +4 - 8n² - 4n^4 - 1

Now, group like terms.

= 4n^4 - 4n^4 - 8n² -8n - 1 + 4

4n^4 - 4n^4 cancel out with each other since one is negative and the other is positive. So we're left with - 8n² -8n - 1 + 4

= - 8n² -8n - 1 + 4

= - 8n² -8n + 3
