Question

Find the opposite of the polynomial.
-60^3 - 8a +5

Answer 1

60^3 + 8a -5

Explanation:

Like opposite of 5 is 5×-1 = -5,

Opposite of -60³ - 8a +5 is:

-(-60³ - 8a +5)

60³ + 8a - 5

Answer 2

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the opposite

To find the opposite, we need to negate all of the parts.

`-(-60^3 - 8a + 5)`

`(-1 * -60^3) + (-1 * -8a) + (-1 * 5)`

`60^3 + 8a - 5`

Answer:
`60^3 + 8a - 5`
