Answer 1

`\text{The sum of given polynomials is } 8x^2+x+14`

Solution:

Given given expression to calculate is:

`(x^2+x+9) + (7x^2+5)`

We have to add both the polynomials

Addition of two polynomials involves combining like terms present in the two polynomials

We have to add like terms

Like terms means "the terms having same variable and same exponent"

And we have to add the constants

`\rightarrow (x^2+x+9) + (7x^2+5)\\\\\text{Remove the parenthesis and simplify }\\\\\rightarrow x^2 + x + 9 + 7x^2 + 5\\\\\text{Combine the like terms }\\\\\rightarrow x^2 + 7x^2 + x + 9 + 5\\\\\text{Add the coefficients of like terms }\\\\\rightarrow 8x^2 + x + 9 + 5\\\\\text{Add the constants 9 and 5 }\\\\\rightarrow 8x^2 + x + 14`

Thus the polynomials are added
