The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA), is the income source of last resort for thelow-income aged, blind, and disabled. As the nation's largest income-assistance program, it paid $38 billion in benefits in calendar year 2006 to roughly 7 million recipients per month. BecauseSSI is means tested, administering the program often requires month-to-month, recipient-by-recipient benefit recomputations. An increase in a recipient's income usually triggers a benefit recomputation. Or, an increase in the recipient's financial assets, which may render the recipient ineligible, would also prompt a recomputation. With this crush of ongoing recomputations, it is of little wonder that administrative simplification is a time-honored mantra for program administrators.

Combining the like-terms, the result of the addition of polynomials f(x) and g(x) is given by:

$f(x) + g(x) = 21x^3 + \frac{5}{4}x^{\frac{1}{2}} + 19x^{-\frac{1}{4}} + 8x^{-4}$

<h3>How do we add polynomials?</h3>

We add polynomials combining the like-terms, that is, adding terms with the same exponent.

In this problem, the polynomials are:

$f(x) = 3x^{\frac{1}{2}} + 7x^{-\frac{1}{4}} + 8x^{-4}$

$g(x) = -\frac{7}{4}x^{\frac{1}{2}} + 12x^{-\frac{1}{4}} - 21x^3$

Combining the like terms, the addition is given by:

$f(x) + g(x) = \left(3 - \frac{7}{4}\right)x^{\frac{1}{2}} + (7 + 12)x^{-\frac{1}{4}} + 8x^{-4} + 21x^3$

$f(x) + g(x) = 21x^3 + \frac{5}{4}x^{\frac{1}{2}} + 19x^{-\frac{1}{4}} + 8x^{-4}$
