Answer 2

Option D: $10x^4+x^3-7x^2-2x+12$ is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomials are:

$P_1 : 2x^4+5x^3-8x^2-x+10\\P_2: 8x^4-4x^3+x^2-x+2$

We have to find the sum of polynomials

So,

$S = P_1+P_2\\= (2x^4+5x^3-8x^2-x+10) + (8x^4-4x^3+x^2-x+2)\\=2x^4+5x^3-8x^2-x+10+8x^4-4x^3+x^2-x+2$

Combining like terms

$=2x^2+8x^4+5x^2-4x^3-8x^2+x^2-x-x+10+2\\= 10x^4+x^3-7x^2-2x+12$

Hence,

Option D: $10x^4+x^3-7x^2-2x+12$ is the right answer
