Question

Raj was asked to fully simplify this polynomial and put it into standard form.

2x2y + 8x3 – xy2 – 2x3 + 3xy2 + 6y3
Raj simplified the polynomial with a final term of 6y3. What is the first term of the polynomial Raj ended up with?
6x3
8x3
2xy2
3xy2

Answer 1

Explanation:

The first term is 6x3

Because he subtracted like terms 8x3 and 2x3

Answer 2

6x³

Explanation:

2x²y + 8x³ – xy² – 2x³ + 3xy² + 6y³=

6x³+2x²y+2xy²+6y³
