Final answer:

The other polynomial is -2yz²-3y+1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the other polynomial, we need to subtract the given polynomial from the sum of the two polynomials.

Given polynomial: y-4yz²-3

Sum of the two polynomials: -yz²-3z²-4y+4

Subtracting the given polynomial from the sum, we get: (-yz²-3z²-4y+4) - (y-4yz²-3)

Simplifying, we get: -2yz²-3y+1

So, the other polynomial is -2yz²-3y+1. Therefore, the correct answer is option b.

Let's denote the other polynomial as

(

P(y,z). The sum of the two polynomials is given as:

P(y,z), we can compare the coefficients of the corresponding terms on both sides of the equation.
