Answer 1

is it A,B,C,or D?

Answer 2

To add the polynomial expressions \(3 - 2p - 5p^2\) and \(p^4 - 3p + 4\), we first rewrite them to align similar terms:

1. The first polynomial:
\(3 - 2p - 5p^2\) can be written as \(-5p^2 - 2p + 3\).

2. The second polynomial:
\(p^4 - 3p + 4\) can be maintained as it is.

Now, we combine the two polynomials:

\[
(-5p^2 - 2p + 3) + (p^4 - 3p + 4)
\]

Taking each term and adding like terms:

- **\(p^4\)** terms: \(1\) from the second polynomial, so we keep it as \(p^4\).
- **\(p^2\)** terms: \(-5\) from the first polynomial, so we keep it as \(-5p^2\).
- **\(p\)** terms: \(-2p - 3p = -5p\).
- **Constant terms**: \(3 + 4 = 7\).

Combining them gives us the final result:

\[
p^4 - 5p^2 - 5p + 7
\]

The correct response is:
**\(p^4 - 5p^2 - 5p + 7\)**.

Answer 3

The correct answer based on the polynomial addition is:

**B: \( p^4 - 5p^2 - 5p + 7 \)**.
