Add the polynomial expressions 2r2−3r+4

and −2r2+3r+6
.

1 answer

To add the polynomial expressions \(2r^2 - 3r + 4\) and \(-2r^2 + 3r + 6\), we simply combine like terms.

  1. Start with the two expressions: \[ (2r^2 - 3r + 4) + (-2r^2 + 3r + 6) \]

  2. Rearrange and group the like terms: \[ (2r^2 - 2r^2) + (-3r + 3r) + (4 + 6) \]

  3. Now, perform the addition:

    • For the \(r^2\) terms: \(2r^2 - 2r^2 = 0\)
    • For the \(r\) terms: \(-3r + 3r = 0\)
    • For the constant terms: \(4 + 6 = 10\)
  4. Combining these results gives: \[ 0 + 0 + 10 = 10 \]

Thus, the sum of the polynomial expressions is: \[ \boxed{10} \]
