Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"For a polynomial, no matter how many terms it has, always check for a greatest common factor (GCF) first. Literally, the greatest common factor is the biggest expression that will go into all of the terms. Using the GCF is like doing the distributive property backward.

If the equation is a trinomial — it has three terms — you can use the FOIL method for multiplying binomials backward.

If it’s a binomial, look for difference of squares, difference of cubes, or sum of cubes.

Finally, after the polynomial is fully factored, you can use the zero product property to solve the equation."

Add the following polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write answer in descending powers of x.

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

$-x^5+3x^4+16x^3+7x^2-3x+6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomials are:

$x^5-4x^4+7x^3+8$ , $9x^3+7x^2-10$ and $-2x^5+7x^4-3x+8$

Now we need to add the given polynomials, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Also we need to write answer in descending powers of x.

So let's add them by combining like terms:

$x^5-4x^4+7x^3+8+9x^3+7x^2-10-2x^5+7x^4-3x+8$
