Answer 1

To demonstrate the correct polynomial subtraction, we should follow the steps of distributing the negative sign and combining like terms. Let's start with the expression:

\[ (2x^2 + 6x + 1) - (3x^2 + 3x + 9) \]

First, we distribute the negative sign to each term in the second polynomial:

\[ = 2x^2 + 6x + 1 - 3x^2 - 3x - 9 \]

Now, we combine like terms:

• Combine the \(x^2\) terms: \(2x^2 - 3x^2 = -x^2\)
• Combine the \(x\) terms: \(6x - 3x = 3x\)
• Combine the constant terms: \(1 - 9 = -8\)

Putting it all together, we get:

\[ -x^2 + 3x - 8 \]

So, the correct answer from your provided responses is:

\[ (2x^2 + 6x + 1) - (3x^2 + 3x + 9) = -x^2 + 3x - 8 \]

Answer 2

What does it mean for a set to be "closed" ?(1 point) Responses An operation performed on members of that set will result in a member of the same set. An operation performed on members of that set will result in a member of the same set. An expression belonging to a closed set cannot be used to create an expression that is not of that set. An expression belonging to a closed set cannot be used to create an expression that is not of that set. The set has a finite number of members, as opposed to being infinitely large. The set has a finite number of members, as opposed to being infinitely large. Members of a closed set cannot be added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided.

Answer 3

The concept of a set being "closed" typically refers to the closure property with respect to a certain operation. This means that when you perform a particular operation (such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.) on members of that set, the result will also be a member of the same set.

Therefore, the correct response is:

An operation performed on members of that set will result in a member of the same set.

This definition applies in various mathematical contexts, such as in algebraic structures like groups, rings, and fields.
