In a polynomials equation do you add the exponents if they are different

You can only add exponents if you are multiplying two of the same variable together. For example,
x^{12} \times x^4 = x^{16}

You take them away if you are dividing.
<span>x^{12} \div x^4 = x^{8}

In a polynomial equation, you can add together two of the same variable if they have the same exponent
</span>3x^4 + 7x^4 = 10x^4

Or you can take them away in a similar fashion,
<span>3x^4 - 7x^4 = -4x^4

But you cannot add two (or more) different exponents,
</span>6+4x+7x^2 = 6+4x+7x^2 (it does not get any simpler)

I hope this has answered your question, if not, leave a comment and I'll update the answer.

Choose the correct measure of an astronomical unit. 9.3 million miles .93 million miles 93 million miles 930 million miles
Genrish500 [490]
By definition, an astronomical unit in miles is given by:
 1 AU = 9.3 * 10 ^ 7 miles&#10;
 As it is in exponential notation, then we must rewrite.
 9.3 * 10 ^ 7 = 93,000,000 miles&#10;
 Therefore, an astronomical unit is:
 93 million miles
 Answer:
 
93 million miles

The line represented by the equation 2y - 3x = 4 has a slope of.....
S_A_V [24]
2y - 3x = 4 
2y = 3x + 4
y = 3/2*x + 2

y = kx + b ==>

k = 3/2 = 1,5
