add the expressions

Expression 1: -3k+4K^3-2
Expression 2: 9k^2-3k^3

1 answer

To add the two expressions, we'll combine like terms.

Expression 1:
\(-3k + 4k^3 - 2\)

Expression 2:
\(9k^2 - 3k^3\)

Now, let's write them together:

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

Next, we can rearrange the expression by grouping the like terms:

  • \(4k^3 - 3k^3\) (cubic terms)
  • \(9k^2\) (quadratic term)
  • \(-3k\) (linear term)
  • \(-2\) (constant term)

Now, let's combine them:

  1. \(4k^3 - 3k^3 = 1k^3\) or \(k^3\)
  2. \(9k^2\) remains as is.
  3. \(-3k\) remains as is.
  4. \(-2\) remains as is.

Now put it all together:

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

So, the result of adding the two expressions is:

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