Expression 2: 9k²-3k³+4k-3

□k³+□k²+□k*+*□

1 answer

To combine both expressions \( -3k + 4k^3 - 2 \) and \( 9k^2 - 3k^3 + 4k - 3 \), we need to add the coefficients of like terms (i.e., terms with the same power of \( k \)).

Let's write and identify the components of each expression clearly:

Expression 1:

\[ -3k + 4k^3 - 2 \]

  • \( k^3 \): \( 4 \)
  • \( k^2 \): \( 0 \) (no \( k^2 \) term)
  • \( k^1 \): \( -3 \)
  • Constant: \( -2 \)

Expression 2:

\[ 9k^2 - 3k^3 + 4k - 3 \]

  • \( k^3 \): \( -3 \)
  • \( k^2 \): \( 9 \)
  • \( k^1 \): \( 4 \)
  • Constant: \( -3 \)

Now, we combine like terms:

  1. For \( k^3 \):
    • \( 4 - 3 = 1 \)
  2. For \( k^2 \):
    • \( 0 + 9 = 9 \)
  3. For \( k^1 \):
    • \( -3 + 4 = 1 \)
  4. For the constant term:
    • \( -2 - 3 = -5 \)

Now, we can write the complete expression:

Combining each component, we get: \[ 1k^3 + 9k^2 + 1k - 5 \]

Thus, in the format □k³ + □k² + □k + □, the coefficients are:

  • \( \boxed{1} \) for \( k^3 \)
  • \( \boxed{9} \) for \( k^2 \)
  • \( \boxed{1} \) for \( k \)
  • \( \boxed{-5} \) for the constant term

The final expression is: \[ k^3 + 9k^2 + k - 5 \]
