By how much does a a^3-2a exceed a^2 + a -6

a³ - a² - 3a+ 6

Step-by-step explanation:

we are asked by how much does (a³-2a) exceed (a²+a-6)

in other words, we are being asked to find the difference between the 2 terms above.

Mathematically we are asked to find:

(a³-2a) - (a²+a-6)    (expand parentheses by distribution property)

=(a³-2a - a²- a + 6)

= a³ - a² - 3a+ 6    (answer)

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.
