Addition of polinomials
Adding polynomials is essentially combining like terms of polynomial expressions. When adding polynomials, they can either be arranged vertically or grouped according to degree.
Add
P(x)= 2p
3 + 6p
2 +9p to Q(x) = 3p
3 - 8p
2
- 11p
The resulting polynomial is: P(x) + Q(x)=
5p
3 - 2p
2 - 2p
Let's see the combinations of like terms:
2p
3 + 3p
3 = 5p
3
6p
2 - 8p
2 = -2p
2
9p - 11p = -2p
