Question
Subtract 4y(y - z + x) - 3x(x - y + z) from 5z(z - y - x)
Hint:
- The concept used in this question is the subtraction of polynomials.
○ Arrange the term in the decreasing order of their power.
○ To subtract polynomials simply subtract any like terms together.
○ Like terms are terms whose variables and exponents are the same
The correct answer is: 3x2 – 4y2 + 5z2 – y z – 8xz – 7xy
Answer:
Step by step explanation:
○ Given:
Terms:
4y (y - z + x) - 3x (x - y + z) ;
5z (z - y - x)
○ Step 1:
○ Subtract:
5z (z - y - x) - [4y (y - z + x) - 3x(x - y + z)]
(5z2 – 5yz – 5xz ) - [( 4y2 – 4yz + 4xy) - ( 3x2 -3xy – 3xz )
(5z2 – 5yz – 5xz ) - [4y2 – 4yz + 4xy - 3x2 + 3xy + 3xz )
(5z2 – 5yz – 5xz ) - 4y2 + 4yz - 4xy + 3x2 - 3xy - 3xz )
○ step 2:
○ Group the like terms.
(5z2– 4y2 + 3x2) + ( -5yz + 4yz) + (-5xz – 3xz) + (-4xy – 3xy)
(5z2– 4y2 + 3x2) + ( -yz ) + (-8xz) + (-7xy)
3x2 – 4y2 + 5z2 – yz – 8xz – 7xy
- Final Answer:
3x2 – 4y2 + 5z2 – yz – 8xz – 7xy
○ Step 1:
○ Subtract:
○ step 2:
○ Group the like terms.
