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

vredina [299]

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 $2x^2+13x-23$
