Question
subtract \\(5x^4 + 5\\) from \\(16x^4 + 8\\).
Set up the subtraction expression
We translate the verbal phrase "Subtract \(A\) from \(B\)" into the algebraic expression \(B - A\).
Using the Polynomial Subtraction knowledge point:
$$
(16x^4 + 8) - (5x^4 + 5)
$$
Distribute the negative sign
We distribute the negative sign to each term inside the second parentheses.
Using the Polynomial Simplification knowledge point:
$$
16x^4 + 8 - 5x^4 - 5
$$
Group and combine like terms
We group the \(x^4\) terms together and the constant terms together to simplify.
Using the Polynomial Simplification knowledge point:
$$
(16x^4 - 5x^4) + (8 - 5) = 11x^4 + 3
$$
