Question

Simplify: (2x2 − 9x + 3) + (−7x2 + 4x − 2) (5 points)

−5x2 − 13x + 1

−5x2 + 5x − 1

9x2 − 4x + 1

−5x2 − 5x + 1

Answer 1

`-5x^2+5x+1`

Explanation:

To simplify polynomials, find the like terms which look and sound the same then combine the coefficients of each to simplify.

`(2x^2-9x+3)+(-7x^2+4x-2)\\2x^2-7x^2-9x+4x+3-2\\-5x^2+5x+1`
