Answer:
[tex]11y^2+12[/tex]
Correct answer: the third option
Step-by-step explanation:
Addition of Polynomials
Polynomials can be added following the rule: Only terms with the same variables and the same exponents for each can be added. For example, the terms [tex]3x^2y^3[/tex] and [tex]8x^2y^3[/tex] can be added to produce [tex]11x^2y^3.[/tex]
The area of a window is represented by
[tex]5y^2 + 10y + 10[/tex]
And the area of another window is represented by
[tex]6y^2 - 10y + 2[/tex]
We are required to add those functions. We'll follow the mentioned rule
[tex]5y^2 + 10y + 10+6y^2 - 10y + 2=(5+6)y^2+(10-10)y+(10+2)[/tex]
Simplifying, the sum is
[tex]11y^2+12[/tex]
Correct answer: the third option
