Question

Write the opposite polynomial for -3x ^3+12x-4

Answer 1

Answer:

3x³ - 12x + 4  

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite of a polynomial P is -P.

You find the opposite of P by multiplying it by -1.

 P = -3x³ + 12x - 4

-P = (-1)( -3x³ +       12x   -      4)     Distribute -1 to each term

    = (-1)(-3x³) + (-1)(12x)  - (-1)(4)     Multiply each coefficient by -1

    =       3x³  +     (-12)x -     (-4)

   =       3x³  -        12x   +     4
