Subtracting Polynomials Quiz

What is the first step when subtracting polynomials?

• Distribute the negative sign

• Combine all terms directly

• Add the polynomials

• Ignore the coefficients

In the first example, what is the result of combining 3x and -7x?

• -4x

• 10x

• -10x

• 4x

When multiplying 2 with the polynomial, what is the result of 10x - 4x?

• 14x

• 6x

• 4x

• 8x

In the advanced example, what is the result of combining 8a^2B and -4a^2B?

• -4a^2B

• 0

• 4a^2B

• 12a^2B

Why can't the terms 4a^2B and 1aB^2 be combined?

• They have different coefficients

• They have different variables

• They have different exponents

• They are already combined
