Question

which statement is true about the polynomial 3x2y2 − 5xy2 − 3x2y2 2x2 after it has been fully simplified?

Answer 1

Answer:

It has 4 terms and a degree of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

In simplifying polynomials, we need to remember that only like terms can be added or subtracted to each other. Also, the order of solving the basic operators should be followed which is PEMDAS.    

3x2y2 − 5xy2 − 3x2y2 + 2x2

The first and the thrid term is equal to zero thus the polynomial is:

− 5xy2 + 2x2

The polynomial has two terms with a degree of three.
