Q:

Simplify. (3x5+3x2−4x3+x−6)−(x3+4x4+2x2−10x) Enter your answer, in standard form, in the box.

Accepted Solution

A:
All so have to do is make sure to convert the negatives and positives of the second group of values since there is a subtraction symbol that you have to distribute to that section.

This would turn the expression into
3x^5 + 3x^2 - 4x^3 + x - 6 - x^3 - 4x^4 - 2x^2 + 10x

Then combine like terms and line all the values in order from greatest exponent value to least to get 
3x^5 - 4x^4 - 5x^3 + x^2 +11x - 6

Hope this helped :)
