Math Problem Statement

Find the sum or difference. Classify you answer as a binomial or a trinomial.

  1. \large \left(3a^2-a+3\right)+\left(4a^2-5\right)

Simplified Expression :

Polynomial Classification :

Solution

To solve the expression (3a2a+3)+(4a25)\left(3a^2 - a + 3\right) + \left(4a^2 - 5\right), we need to combine like terms.

Step 1: Identify and combine like terms

  • Combine the a2a^2 terms: 3a2+4a2=7a23a^2 + 4a^2 = 7a^2
  • Combine the aa terms: a-a (no other aa terms, so it remains a-a)
  • Combine the constant terms: 3+(5)=23 + (-5) = -2

Step 2: Write the simplified expression

The simplified expression is: 7a2a27a^2 - a - 2

Polynomial Classification:

The simplified expression has three terms: 7a27a^2, a-a, and 2-2. Therefore, it is classified as a trinomial.


Simplified Expression: 7a2a2\mathbf{7a^2 - a - 2}

Polynomial Classification: Trinomial
