Question

Choose the correct sum of the polynomials (3x3 − 5x − 8) + (5x3 + 7x + 3).

8x3 + 2x + 5
2x3 − 12x − 11
2x3 + 12x − 5
8x3 + 2x − 5

Answer 1

3x3+5x3+(-5x)+7x+(-8)+3
8x3+2x-5

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

The two polynomials whose sum we have to find is

`\Rightarrow (3x^3 − 5x - 8) + (5x^3 + 7x + 3)\\\\\text{Adding like terms}\\\\\Rightarrow 3x^3+5x^3 - 5x+7x - 8+3\\\\\Rightarrow 8x^3+2x-5`
