Answer: 1) x⁴ + 5x² + 12x - 31
2) 3x³ - x² + 2
3) 8x³ + x² + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Line up like terms and add the coefficients of each term
-5x⁴ + 6x² - 43
+ 6x⁴ - 1x² + 12x + 12
x⁴ + 5x² + 12x - 31
2) Line up like terms and add the coefficients of each term
1x³ - 2x² + 4
+ 2x³ + 1x² - 2
3x³ - x² + 2
3) Line up like terms and add the coefficients of each term
7x³ - 1x² + 1
+ 1x³ + 2x² + 2
8x³ + x² + 3
