Example Question #165 : Polynomials
Simplify the following:
To solve this problem, first distribute anything through parentheses that needs to be distributed, then combine all terms with like variables (i.e. same variable, same exponent):
Example Question #166 : Polynomials
Simplify the following:
To solve this problem, first distribute anything through parentheses that needs to be distributed, then combine all terms with like variables (i.e. same variable, same exponent):
Example Question #167 : Polynomials

To solve this problem, first distribute anything through parentheses that needs to be distributed, then combine all terms with like variables (i.e. same variable, same exponent):
Example Question #169 : Polynomials
Simplify the following expression:
Simplify the following expression:
Let's begin by putting each polynomial in standard form (decreasing exponent order)
Good, see how the highest exponents are on the left, and the lowest are on the right? That's standard form.
Next, let's remove the parentheses and put terms with the same exponent next to eachother.
Okay, finally, combine like terms by adding the coefficients (the numbers out front).
Notice that the squared terms cancel out, and the fifth term stays the same.
