Question Subtract 6z28z+26 z^{2} - 8 z + 2 and (4z2+7z4)-(4 z^{2} + 7 z - 4).

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given two polynomials: 6z28z+26z^2 - 8z + 2 and 4z2+7z44z^2 + 7z - 4.
2. We need to subtract the second polynomial from the first one.

STEP 2

Write down the given polynomials, aligning like terms.
6z28z+2(4z2+7z4) \begin{array}{r} 6z^2 - 8z + 2 \\ -(4z^2 + 7z - 4) \\ \end{array}

STEP 3

Distribute the negative sign across the second polynomial.
6z28z+24z27z+4 \begin{array}{r} 6z^2 - 8z + 2 \\ -4z^2 - 7z + 4 \\ \end{array}

STEP 4

Subtract the coefficients of the like terms.
For the z2z^2 terms: 6z24z2=(64)z2=2z26z^2 - 4z^2 = (6 - 4)z^2 = 2z^2
For the zz terms: 8z(7z)=8z+7z=(8+7)z=1z-8z - (-7z) = -8z + 7z = (-8 + 7)z = -1z
For the constant terms: 24=22 - 4 = -2

STEP 5

Combine the results of the subtraction to get the final polynomial.
2z21z22z^2 - 1z - 2

STEP 6

Simplify the polynomial by removing the coefficient of 1 in front of zz.
2z2z22z^2 - z - 2
This is the result of the subtraction.
