How do you add polynomials ?

For example. (x^2+4x-1) + (5x^2+2)

Or

(7n^3+2n^2-n-4) - (4n^3-3n^2+8)

Answer #1

just think of the x part as a tag to the varible, only those with the same tag can come together. (e.g. x^4 goes with x^4)

(x^2+4x-1) + (5x^2+2)

an easier way to look at it is to rearrange it (x^2 + 5x^2) + (4x) + (-1+2)

so the answer is… 6x^2 + 4x + 1

do the same for the other problem
