The lengths of two sides of a triangle are shown.

Side 1: 8x2 − 5x − 2

Side 2: 7x − x2 + 3

The perimeter of the triangle is 4x3 − 3x2 + 2x − 6.

Part A: What is the total length of the two sides, 1 and 2, of the triangle? Show your work.

Part B: What is the length of the third side of the triangle? Show your work.

Part C: Do the answers for Part A and Part B show that the polynomials are closed under addition and subtraction? Justify your answer.
