Solution

i Required polynomial = 2x3-7x2+3x+4+2x3-3x2+4x+1 = 2x3-7x2+3x+4+2x3-3x2+4x+1 = 2x3+2x3-7x2-3x2+3x+4x+4+1 =4x3-10x2+7x+5Here, the highest power is 3. Degree of the polynomial=3

iiRequired polynomial =3x2+5x-x7+-3x2+5x+8 = 3x2+5x-x7-3x2+5x+8 =-x7+3x2-3x2+5x+5x+8 =-x7+10x+8Here, the highest power is 7. Degree of the polynomial = 7

iii Required polynomial =x4+5x3+7x+4x3-3x2+5 = x4+5x3+7x+4x3-3x2+5 = x4+5x3+4x3-3x2+7x+5 = x4+9x3-3x2+7x+5Here, the highest power is 4. Degree of the polynomial = 4

iv Required polynomial =y2+2y-5+y3+2y2+3y+4+y3+7y-2 = y2+2y-5+y3+2y2+3y+4+y3+7y-2 =y3+y3+ y2+2y2+2y+3y+7y-5+4-2 =2y3+ 3y2+12y-3Here, the highest power is 3. Degree of the polynomial = 3

vRequired polynomial =5m2+3m+8+m3-6m2+4m+m3-m2-m+5 =5m2+3m+8+m3-6m2+4m+m3-m2-m+5 =m3+m3+5m2-6m2-m2+3m+4m-m+8+5 =2m3-2m2+6m+13Here, the highest power is 3. Degree of the polynomial = 3
