1. What did we do in our activity?
2. How did we group the objects?
Just as you can perform
operations on numbers, you
can perform operations on
polynomials.
What are Like Terms?
Like terms are terms that have the
exact same variable part,
they must have the same variables raised to the same powers.
A. (4m2 + 5) + (m2 – m + 6)
(4m2 + 5) + (m2 – m + 6) Identify like terms.
(4m2 + m2) + (–m) +(5 + 6) Group like terms together.
5m2 – m + 11 Combine like terms.
B. (10xy + x) + (–3xy + y)
(10xy + x) + (–3xy + y) Identify like terms.
x2 – 3y Simplify.
SUBTRACTION OF POLYNOMIALS
To subtract polynomials, remember that subtracting is the same
as adding the opposite. To find the opposite of a polynomial,
you must write the opposite of each term in the polynomial:
Subtract.
(x3 + 4y) – (2x3)
Rewrite subtraction as addition
(x + 4y) + (–2x )
3 3
of the opposite.
(x3 + 4y) + (–2x3) Identify like terms.
(x3 – 2x3) + 4y Group like terms together.
–x3 + 4y Combine like terms.
Example 2: Subtracting Polynomials
Subtract.
(7m4 – 2m2) – (5m4 – 5m2 + 8)
Rewrite subtraction as
(7m4 – 2m2) + (–5m4 + 5m2 – 8) addition of the opposite.
Subtract.
(–10x2 – 3x + 7) – (x2 – 9)
Rewrite subtraction as
(–10x – 3x + 7) + (–x + 9)
2 2
addition of the opposite.
(–10x2 – 3x + 7) + (–x2 + 9) Identify like terms.
(3x2 + 7x – 5) Plot A.
+ (5x2 – 4x + 11) Plot B.
8x2 + 3x + 6 Combine like terms.
REAL-LIFE MATHEMATICS
The profits of two different
manufacturing plants can be
modeled as shown, where x is the
number of units produced at each
plant.
Use the information to the right to
write a polynomial that represents
the total profits from both plants.
ADDITION OF POLYNOMIALS
To add like terms together, you add the
coefficients and keep the variable part the same.
SUBTRACTION OF POLYNOMIALS
To subtract polynomials, remember that
subtracting is the same as adding the opposite.
