Answer 1

To add the polynomial expressions, we will combine like terms from both expressions.

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

Expression #2: \( 2x^3 - 6x - 4 \)

Now, let's write them together and combine like terms:

1. Combine the \( x^4 \) terms:
- \( 3x^4 \) from Expression #1

2. Combine the \( x^3 \) terms:
- \( -2x^3 + 2x^3 = 0 \) (these cancel out)

3. Combine the \( x \) terms:
- \( 4x - 6x = -2x \)

4. Combine the constant terms:
- \( -2 - 4 = -6 \)

Putting it all together, we have:

\[
3x^4 + 0 - 2x - 6
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
3x^4 - 2x - 6
\]

Therefore, the correct response is:

**3x^4 - 2x - 6**.
