1 answer

To add the polynomials \(3x^2 + 2x - 1\) and \(2x^2 - 5x + 4\), you need to combine like terms.

  1. Add the coefficients of \(x^2\): \[ 3x^2 + 2x^2 = 5x^2 \]

  2. Add the coefficients of \(x\): \[ 2x - 5x = -3x \]

  3. Add the constant terms: \[ -1 + 4 = 3 \]

Now, combine all the results: \[ 5x^2 - 3x + 3 \]

So, the result of adding these two polynomials is \(5x^2 - 3x + 3\).

The correct response is: 5x² − 3x + 3.
