Explain to an absent student how to subtract polynomials. Use complete sentences or examples in your explanation.

Subtracting Polynomials is very similar to adding polynomials. In fact, we will be changing the subtraction problem to an addition problem.

In the Pre-Algebra section of the website, we started out by reviewing integers.

We said, "When you subtract integers, you must add the opposite. We also talked about the Keep - Change- Change Rule. That rule applies to polynomials as well.

Take a look at these examples that show you how to rewrite the problem as an additional  problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

-362

step-by-step explanation:

(12)(4)+2(12)-34(12)+2(12)-3

  \/         \/         \/         \/

  48 +   24 -   408 + 24 - 3

      \   /               \   /

          72     -     432 - 3 = -363

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
