Determine the operation that results in the simplified expression below. x^5+x^4-5x^3-3x^2+x-8

The second choice is correct:

.. Q - P

The constant term is all you really need to look at to figure this.

For P(x), the constant is +2.

For Q(x), the constant is -6.

For P+Q, the constant is -4 . . . . not correct

For Q-P, the constant is -8 . . . . correct

For PQ, the constant is -12 . . . . not correct

For P-Q, the constant is 8 . . . . .not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
