Subtract each polynomial. Note that you combine like terms
(2 - 4x^9 + 3x^3) - (7x + x^3 - 6 + 12x^4)
Distribute the negative to all terms within the second parenthesis
(2 - 4x^9 + 3x^3) + (-7x - x^3 + 6 - 12x^4)
Combine like terms
4x^9 - 12x^4 + 2x^3 - 7x + 8 is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex](2- 4x^9 + 3x^3) -(7x + x^3- 6 + 12x^4)[/tex]
start by distributing the negative sign on the second parenthesis
so we get
[tex](2- 4x^9 + 3x^3) -7x - x^3+ 6 - 12x^4)[/tex]
which simplifies to
[tex]2- 4x^9 + 3x^3 -7x -x^3+6 - 12x^4[/tex]
By combining the like terms we get
[tex]8- 4x^9 + 2x^3 -7x - 12x^4[/tex]
rearrange the equation so the highest degree term is in starting so the answer is
[tex]-4x^9-12x^4+2x^3-7x+8[/tex]
