Question

Simplify the following polynomial and write the answer in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

$3x^2-x+3$

Step-by-step explanation:

$(x^2+3x+2)+(2x^2-4x+1)$

Now we open the brackets first

$x^2+3x+2+2x^2-4x+1$

We take the like terms together

Like terms are those terms which have same degree of x with them. Constant terms are also like terms

$x^2+2x^2+3x-4x+1+2$

Simplifying the like terms

$3x^2-4x+3$

Hence this is our answer
