11z2+z−2

Answer 1

To add the polynomial expressions \( 5z - 2z^2 - 4z + 5 \) and \( 6z^2 + 3 - 7z \), we will first combine like terms from each polynomial.

1. Rewrite the first expression:
\[
5z - 2z^2 - 4z + 5 = -2z^2 + (5z - 4z) + 5 = -2z^2 + z + 5
\]

2. Rewrite the second expression:
\[
6z^2 + 3 - 7z = 6z^2 - 7z + 3
\]

3. Now add the two simplified expressions together:
\[
(-2z^2 + z + 5) + (6z^2 - 7z + 3)
\]
Combine the like terms:
- For \( z^2 \): \( -2z^2 + 6z^2 = 4z^2 \)
- For \( z \): \( z - 7z = -6z \)
- For the constant: \( 5 + 3 = 8 \)

Putting it all together, we get:
\[
4z^2 - 6z + 8
\]

Thus, the answer is:

**4z² - 6z + 8**.
