Question

Which of the following is equivalent to 2(x2 − x) + 3(x2 − x)?

  1. x5 − 5x
  2. x5 + 5x
  3. 5x
  4. 5x2

The correct answer is: x5 − 5x


    Hint
    ○        The concept used in this question is of additon of polynomials.
    ○        Arrange the term in the decreasing order of their power.
    ○        To add polynomials  simply add any like terms together.
    ○        Like terms are terms whose variables and exponents are the same.
    Step by step explanation:
    ○        Given:
    The expression:   2(x2 − x) + 3(x2 − x)
    ○        Step 1:
    ○        Simplify the expression
    2(x2 − x) + 3(x2 − x)
    2x2 - 2x + 3x2 - 3x
    ○        Step 2:
    ○        Arrange the term in the decreasing order of their power
    ∴  2x2 + 3x2 - 2x - 3x
    5x2 - 5x
    Hence, the polynomial equivalent to expression 2(x2 − x) + 3(x2 − x) is
    5x2 - 5x.
