Question

The difference between two trinomials is 5x2 + 11x − 16. If one of the trinomials is 3x2 − 2x + 7, then which expression could be the other trinomial?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2x^2+13x-23$

Step-by-step explanation:

The first trinomial is

$3x^2-2x+7$

Let the other trinomial be P.

Then

$P+3x^2-2x+7=5x^2+11x-16$

We make P the subject to obtain,

$P=5x^2-3x^2+11x+2x-16-7$

We simplify to obtain,

$P=2x^2+13x-23$

Hence the other trinomial is $2x^2+13x-23$

Answer 2

Answer:

other trinomial is (  8x² + 9x - 9 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between two trinomials is 5x² + 11x - 16.

If one of the trinomials is 3x² - 2x + 7 then we have to find the other trinomial.

Let the other trinomial is T.

Then  T - ( 3x² - 2x + 7 ) = 5x² + 11x - 16

         T = ( 5x² + 11x - 16 ) + ( 3x² - 2x + 7 )

           = 5x²  + 11x - 16 + 3x² - 2x + 7

           = ( 5x² + 3x² ) + ( 11x - 2x ) - ( 16 - 7 )

          = 8x² + 9x - 9

Therefore, other trinomial is (  8x² + 9x - 9 )
