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

is it A,B,C,or D?

The correct answer based on the polynomial addition is:

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