Simplify (x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – (3x3 – 8x2 – 5x + 6)
The first thing I have to do is take that "minus" sign through the parentheses containing the second polynomial. Some students find it helpful to put a "1" in front of the parentheses, to help them keep track of the minus sign.
Here's what the subtraction looks like, when working horizontally:
(x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – (3x3 – 8x2 – 5x + 6)
(x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – 1(3x3 – 8x2 – 5x + 6)
(x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4) – 1(3x3) – 1 (–8x2) – 1(–5x) – 1(6)
x3 + 3x2 + 5x – 4 – 3x3 + 8x2 + 5x – 6
x3 – 3x3 + 3x2 + 8x2 + 5x + 5x – 4 – 6
–2x3 + 11x2 + 10x –10
And here's what the subtraction looks like, when going vertically:
x

−(3x

+3x

−8x

+5x
−5x
−4
+6)
In the horizontal addition (above), you may have noticed that running the negative through the parentheses changed the sign on each and every term inside those parentheses. The shortcut when working vertically is to not bother writing in the subtaction sign or the parentheses; instead, write the second polynomial in the second row, and then just flip all the signs in that row, "plus" to "minus" and "minus" to "plus".

Either way, I get the answer:

I just took the test and got it correct.
Answer:
6x - 5y = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
Your FIRST goal is to fill out y = mx + b with the values of m (your slope) and b (your y-intercept). First, find m by dividing the change in y in the two points given by their change in x. (43 - 31)/(35-25) = 12/10 = 6/5. Plug this in immediately for a "placeholder equation" of y = 6/5x + b, which you can plug either of your points into and solve for b.
43 = 6/5(35) + b
43 = 42 + b
1 = b
Your SLOPE-INTERCEPT equation is y = 6/5x + 1. However, you were asked for standard form. This means you must convert into ax + by = c, where a b and c are all whole numbers, and a is positive.
y = 6/5x + 1
-6/5x + y = 1
6/5x - y = -1
6x - 5y = -5, and this is your final answer.
Let me know if you need a more in-depth explanation on any part of this!
Idk :) but the other guy answering might be able to help you. please give me a like!
The answer is median, because the data is skewed and there is an outlier.
