Study Notes
Polynomial Addition and Subtraction
- Operations performed on polynomials include both addition and subtraction.
- Addition combines like terms to form a new polynomial.
- Subtraction involves subtracting coefficients of like terms.
Examples of Polynomial Addition
- Adding (14x^2 - 8x + 3) and (-6x^2 + 7x - 11) results in (8x^2 - x - 8).
- Combining (-4.1x^2 + 0.9x - 9.8) with (1.7x^2 - 2.4x - 1.6) yields (-2.4x^2 - 1.5x - 11.4).
- Adding polynomials (-3x^2 - 2xy + y^2), (-4x^2 - xy + 6y^2), and (x^2 + 6xy - y^2) gives (-6x^2 + 3xy + 6y^2).
Examples of Polynomial Subtraction
- Subtracting (3x^2 - x + 9) from (2x^2 + 5x - 10\ results in (-x^2 + 6x - 19).
- Performing ((3.1x + 2.8z) - (4.3x - 1.2z)) simplifies to (-1.2x + 4.0z).
- Subtracting ((3m - 4n - 7) - (8m + n - 6)) results in (-5m - 5n - 1).
Advanced Polynomial Operations
- To find the resultant polynomial (5x^2 - 7x + 15), combine ((6x^2 - 4x + 11) + (4 - x^2 - 3x)).
- The subtraction of (2x^2 - 6x - 4) from (4x^2 - 4x + 3\ gives (2x^2 + 2x + 7).
- The expression (-3a^3 + 5a^2 - 3a + 7\ results from subtracting (4a^3 - 5a^2 + a - 2) from (a^3 - 2a + 5).
Working with Unknowns
- To find what must be added to (3x - 7) to equal (x^2 + 4x - 1), the result is (x^2 + x + 6).
- To determine how much (a^3 - 2a) exceeds (a^2 + a - 6), the expression is (a^3 - a^2 - 3a + 6).
Application in Geometry
- Understanding the perimeter of a triangle given (7a - 11b) and two sides (2a + b) and (a - 9b) leads to the third side being (4a - 3b).
