Q. subtract a4+4a2b2−2b4 from −3a+5a2b2+2b4 your answer should be a polynomial in standard form
Identify Polynomials: Identify the polynomials to be subtracted.First polynomial: a4+4a2b2−2b4Second polynomial: −3a4+5a2b2+2b4We need to subtract the first polynomial from the second polynomial.
Subtract Term by Term: Subtract the first polynomial from the second polynomial term by term.(−3a4+5a2b2+2b4)−(a4+4a2b2−2b4)This is equivalent to:−3a4−a4+5a2b2−4a2b2+2b4−(−2b4)
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms.−3a4−a4 becomes −4a45a2b2−4a2b2 becomes a2b22b4−(−2b4) becomes 2b4+2b4 which simplifies to 4b4So the resulting polynomial is:−4a4+a2b2+4b4
Standard Form: Write the polynomial in standard form, which is in descending order of degree.The polynomial is already in standard form:−4a4+a2b2+4b4
