Example Question #11 : How To Subtract Polynomials
Perform the indicated mathematical operation on these polynomials:
None of the other answers.
We subtract polynomials just like we would anything else, but we must pay attention to the sign after using the distributive property on the sign that separates the two polynomials in subtraction problems. Then, of course, only like terms can combine or subtract from each other.
Start by distributing the negative sign into the second polynomial:
Now combine or subtract like terms based on the sign between them (same colored terms cancel each other out):
Left over:Â
Example Question #12 : How To Subtract Polynomials
Subtract the polynomials:
Use distribution to simplify the signs of the polynomials.
Combine like terms while following coefficient rules.
