An error has been made in subtracting the two polynomials as shown in the student work. (6x2 – 4x – 5 ) – (3x2 – 7x + 2) = How do you correctly subtract the two polynomials? Identify: Terms: Coefficient of "x2 ":Coefficient of "x":

3x^2 + 3x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(6x^2 – 4x – 5 ) – (3x^2 – 7x + 2)

The correct way of subtracting the polynomial is by changing the sign of each term of the second polynomial. Like this

= 6x^2 – 4x – 5 – 3x^2 + 7x - 2

Collect like terms

= 6x^2 - 3x^2 - 4x + 7x - 5 - 2

Simplify

= 3x^2 + 3x - 7

(6x^2 – 4x – 5 ) – (3x^2 – 7x + 2) = 3x^2 + 3x - 7

From the answer, the coefficient of x^2 is 3, coefficient of x is 3
