To subtract these polynomials, we need to distribute the negative sign to every term inside the parentheses:
4y^2 - 3y + 1 + 8y^3 - 3
Now we can combine like terms, starting with the highest degree of y:
8y^3 + 4y^2 - 3y + 1 - 3
Simplifying:
8y^3 + 4y^2 - 3y - 2
So the difference of (4y^2-3y+1)-(-8y^3+3) is 8y^3 + 4y^2 - 3y - 2.
Subtract.
(4y^2-3y+1)-(-8y^3+3)
