Simplified Expression :   

Polynomial Classification :   

Solution

Let's solve the second expression and classify it.

Expression:

(3a2+4a+5)(2a23a+1)\large \left(3a^2 + 4a + 5\right) - \left(2a^2 - 3a + 1\right)

Step 1: Distribute the negative sign to the second polynomial

3a2+4a+52a2+3a13a^2 + 4a + 5 - 2a^2 + 3a - 1

Step 2: Combine like terms

  • Combine the a2a^2 terms: 3a22a2=1a23a^2 - 2a^2 = 1a^2 or simply a2a^2
  • Combine the aa terms: 4a+3a=7a4a + 3a = 7a
  • Combine the constant terms: 51=45 - 1 = 4

Step 3: Write the simplified expression

a2+7a+4a^2 + 7a + 4

Polynomial Classification:

The simplified expression has three terms: a2a^2, 7a7a, and 44. Therefore, it is classified as a trinomial.


Simplified Expression: a2+7a+4\mathbf{a^2 + 7a + 4}

Polynomial Classification: Trinomial
