Study Notes
Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
- To add or subtract polynomials, combine like terms, which are terms with the same variable(s) and exponent(s).
- Combine coefficients of like terms, leaving the variable(s) and exponent(s) unchanged.
Identifying Like Terms
- Like terms in polynomials are terms that have the same variable(s) and exponent(s).
- Example: 2x² and 3x² are like terms, but 2x and 3x are not.
Exercise 1
- Like terms in the given polynomials are terms with the same variable(s) and exponent(s).
- Identify like terms by looking at the variable(s) and exponent(s) of each term.
Sum of Constant Terms
- The sum of the constant terms in exercise 1 is the sum of the coefficients of the constant terms.
Sum of Polynomials
- The sum of the two polynomials in exercise 1 is found by combining like terms and simplifying the expression.
