Question

Which polynomial correctly combines the like term and express the given polynomial in standard form

Answer 1

Answer:

$8mn^5 - 2m^6 + 5m^2n^4 - m^3n^3 + n^6 - 4m^6 + 9m^2n^4 - mn^5 - 4m^3n^3 = -6m^6 - mn^5 - 5m^3n^3 + 14m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$8mn^5 - 2m^6 + 5m^2n^4 - m^3n^3 + n^6 - 4m^6 + 9m^2n^4 - mn^5 - 4m^3n^3$

Required

Correctly combine the like terms

We have:

$8mn^5 - 2m^6 + 5m^2n^4 - m^3n^3 + n^6 - 4m^6 + 9m^2n^4 - mn^5 - 4m^3n^3$

Collect like terms (in decreasing degrees of m)

$- 2m^6 - 4m^6 - mn^5- m^3n^3 - 4m^3n^3+ 5m^2n^4 + 9m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6$

$-6m^6 - mn^5 - 5m^3n^3 + 14m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6$

So:

$8mn^5 - 2m^6 + 5m^2n^4 - m^3n^3 + n^6 - 4m^6 + 9m^2n^4 - mn^5 - 4m^3n^3 = -6m^6 - mn^5 - 5m^3n^3 + 14m^2n^4 + 8mn^5 + n^6$
