ADDING / SUBTRACTING / MULTIPLYING POLYNOMIALS:
References:
Example:
You are given two polynomials. (Remember that monomials such as 2x and binomials such as 2x+1 are special cases of polynomials). For each problem, calculate the sum, difference and product of the two polynomials.
Problems 16 through 25: Calculate the sum, difference and product of the two polynomials.
