Question

Add (2p4 - 6p2 + 6p3) + (8p + 3p3 + 5p2) =

Answer 1

Answer:
`2p^(4) + 9px^(3) -p^(2)+ 8p`

`(2p^(4) - 6p^(2) + 6px^(3)) + (8p +3p^(3) + 5p^(2) )\\2p^(4) - 6p^(2) + 6px^(3) + 8p +3p^(3) + 5p^(2) \\2p^(4) + 6px^(3) + 3p^(3) + 5p^(2) - 6p^(2) + 8p \\2p^(4) + 9px^(3) -p^(2)+ 8p`

Answer 2

2p4 - 1p2 + 9p3 + 8p

Explanation:

Combine like terms based on the exponent value of "p" for example p^4 can only be added with another p^4
