John and Emily are planning to prepare two types of cookies for a local charity event. The first cookie recipe requires ingredients costing (2x² + 5x - 7) dollars, and the second cookie recipe requires ingredients costing (3 - 4x² + 6x) dollars. How much will the ingredients for both cookie types cost in total?

• 2x² + 3x +1

• -2x² - 11x -4

• 2x² + 5x -7

• -2x² + 11x -4

Lisa and John are comparing their savings over the year. Lisa's savings can be represented by the polynomial (3- 2x + 2x²), indicating her savings in thousands over x months, while John's savings are represented by (4x -5 +3x²), also in thousands over x months. Calculate the difference between Lisa's and John's savings.

Dr. Smith, a mathematician, is analyzing the growth patterns of two different species of plants over time. She models the growth of each species with polynomial equations and decides to compare their growth by subtracting the polynomial equation of species B from species A: (5x⁴ – 4x³ – 2x² + x – 19) – (x⁴ + 5x³ + 8x² + x + 5)

• 4x⁴ – 9x³ – 10x² – 24

• 4x⁴ – 9x³ – 10x² – 2x – 24

• 4x⁴ – 9x³ – 10x² + 2x – 24

• -4x⁴ – 9x³ – 10x² – 24
