<span>1. Natural numbers are also known as "counting numbers", and are whole numbers starting at 1. A simple example set is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}. The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by that number. The reciprocal of 2 is 1/2; this is not a natural number. 2. The set of whole numbers includes natural numbers and zero. A simple example set is {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}. The opposite of 1 is -1; this is not a whole number. 3. The set of integers include whole numbers and their negative counterparts. A simple example set is {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}. The reciprocal of 1 is 1, which is an integer.</span>

Find the difference of(ab+8a+1)-(-6ab+4)
vagabundo [1.1K]
Hey there!

When finding the difference of expressions like these, there's a few things you should keep in mind. 

1. When finding the difference of two polynomials, multiply the polynomial that implied to be "negative" by –1 to expand the problem and make it easier to solve. 

2. You combine terms based on their unknown terms, like x, y, x², ab, etc. You cannot combine the terms x and x², but you can combine the terms 6b and 8b by adding them. 

3. You can rearrange your terms however you see fit. If a polynomial is implied as "positive", you can multiply that entire polynomial by +1 to get rid of the parentheses. 

With all that in mind, you can go ahead and solve for your difference, like so:

(ab+8a+1)-(-6ab+4)

(ab+8a+1) (-1(-6ab+4))

(ab+8a+1) + (6ab-4)

ab+6ab+8a+1-4

7ab+8a-3

7ab+8a-3 will be your difference. 

Hope this helped you out! :-)
