Can you help me with this question?Find the sum of -2x^2 - 4x - 12 and - x^2 - 2x The answer I got was -3x^2 - 6x - 12Just want to see if I did it correctly

Answer 1

Let's determine the sum of the following polynomials:

`(-2x^2-4x-12)\text{ + }(-x^2-2x)`

We get,

`-2x^2-4x-12\text{ }-x^2-2x`
`-2x^2-x^2-4x-2x-12\text{ }`
