Addition of polynomials
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
