QuestionSimplify the expression: .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The given polynomials are and . . We are subtracting the second polynomial from the first one.
STEP 2
We start by writing down the given expression.
STEP 3
Next, distribute the negative sign to each term in the second polynomial. This is equivalent to multiplying each term in the second polynomial by -1.
STEP 4
Now, we rearrange the terms so that like terms are together. Like terms are those terms which have the same variable raised to the same power.
STEP 5
Next, we combine like terms by adding or subtracting their coefficients.
STEP 6
Perform the operations inside the parentheses.
So, the result of subtracting the second polynomial from the first one is .
