Question

CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLZ THIS WAS DUE LIKE 5 minutes ago!!

Answer 1

-4
`x^(2)` - 6

Explanation:

First you have to add the two polynomials. Write the first equation then line up the second equation below the first making sure to keep the columns correct.
`x^(2)` goes in one column, x goes in the next column and the whole numbers go in the last column. Also be sure to have the correct signs of those columns. It should look like this:

4
`x^(2)` - x + 1

PLUS -6
`x^(2)` + x - 4

-----------------------

-2
`x^(2)` + 0 - 3

Note that the middle x turns to 0 because you're subtracting 1x from 1x which is 0.

You can now write the SUM as -2
`x^(2)` - 3

Now they want to know what twice this sum is so multiply it by 2

2 ( -2
`x^(2)` - 3) = -4
`x^(2)` - 6
