Question

Which is true about the completely simplified difference of the polynomials 6x6 − x3y4 − 5xy5 and 4x5y + 2x3y4 + 5xy5?

Answer 1

Let be A= 6x6 − x3y4 − 5xy5 and B= 4x5y + 2x3y4 + 5xy5 and when we do their difference, it is A - B = 6x6 − x3y4 − 5xy5 -( 4x5y + 2x3y4 + 5xy5)=6x6 − x3y4 − 5xy5 - 4x5y - 2x3y4 - 5xy5 = 6x6 - x3y4 - 2x3y4 - 5xy5 -4xy5 -5xy5=6x6 - 3x3y4 -14xy5, so the final solution is A - B =6x6 - 3x3y4 -14xy5, the degree of this is equal to the degree of - 3x3y4, and it is 3+4=7, the answer is The difference has 3 terms and a degree of 7.

Answer 2

Actually the correct answer is The difference has 4 terms and a degree of 7.Ii just taken a pre test over this.
