Question

If P = 4x^4 - 3x^3 + x² - 5x + 11 and Q = -3x^4 + 6x^3 - 8x² + 4x - 3, what is P - 2Q?

Answer 1

Answer:

10x^4-15x^3+17x^2-13x+17

Step-by-step explanation:

P-2Q

Replace P and Q with the given values,

4x^4-3x^3+x^2-5x+11-(2(-3x^4+6x^3-8x^2+4x-3)

4x^4-3x^3+x^2-5x+11-(-6x^4+12x^3-16x^2+8x-6)

4x^4-3x^3+x^2-5x+11+6x^4-12x^3+16x^2-8x+6

10x^4-15x^3+17x^2-13x+17
