Question

part a
add. express your answer as a polynomial in standard form.
(4 point)
(4x² + 3x + 2) + (13x² + 7x + 1) =
□

Explanation:

Step1: Remove parentheses

We have \((4x^2 + 3x + 2)+(13x^2 + 7x + 1)\), removing the parentheses gives \(4x^2 + 3x + 2 + 13x^2 + 7x + 1\).

Step2: Combine like terms

For the \(x^2\) terms: \(4x^2+13x^2 = 17x^2\).
For the \(x\) terms: \(3x + 7x=10x\).
For the constant terms: \(2 + 1 = 3\).
So the polynomial becomes \(17x^2+10x + 3\).

Answer:

\(17x^2 + 10x + 3\)
