Subtract 2x...

Question

Subtract $2 x^{3} - x^{2} + 4 x - 6$ from $x^{3} + 5 x^{2} - 4 x + 6$ .

Open in App

Solution

$(x^{3} + 5 x^{2} - 4 x + 6) - (2 x^{3} - x^{2} + 4 x - 6)$
$= x^{3} + 5 x^{2} - 4 x + 6 - 2 x^{3} + x^{2} - 4 x + 6$
$= (1 - 2) x^{3} + (5 + 1) x^{2} + (- 4 - 4) x + (6 + 6)$
$= - 1 x^{3} + 6 x^{2} - 8 x + 12$
$= - x^{3} + 6 x^{2} - 8 x + 12$

Hence, $(x^3 + 5x^2 -4x + 6)- (2x^3 -x^2 + 4x -6)=- x^3 + 6x^2 -8x + 12$.
