Question

What binomial do you have to add to the polynomial:

Answer 1

Answer:

a)  $-2x^2+5xy$

b)  $-3y^2+5xy$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part (a)

Given polynomial  :$2x^2+3y^2-5xy+1$

The binomial that should be added to the given polynomial to get a polynomial that does not contain the variable x is:

$-2x^2+5xy$

$(2x^2+3y^2-5xy+1)+(-2x^2+5xy)$

$=2x^2+3y^2-5xy+1-2x^2+5xy$

$=2x^2-2x^2+3y^2-5xy+5xy+1$

$=3y^2+1$

Part (b)

Given polynomial  :$2x^2+3y^2-5xy+1$

The binomial that should be added to the given polynomial to get a polynomial that does not contain the variable y is:

$-3y^2+5xy$

$(2x^2+3y^2-5xy+1)+(-3y^2+5xy)$

$=2x^2+3y^2-5xy+1-3y^2+5xy$

$=2x^2+3y^2-3y^2-5xy+5xy+1$

$=2x^2+1$
