What is the sum of (2x4 + 5x3 - 8x2 - x + 10) and (8x4 - 4x3 + x2 - x + 2)?
\((2x^4 + 5x^3 - 8x^2 - x + 10)+(8x^4 - 4x^3 + x^2 - x + 2)\\\\=2x^4 + 5x^3 - 8x^2 - x + 10+8x^4 - 4x^3 + x^2 - x + 2\\\\=(2x^4+8x^4)+(5x^3-4x^3)+(-8x^2+x^2)+(-x-x)+(10+2)\\\\=10x^4+x^3-7x^2-2x+12\)
The sum of given expression is \(10x^{4} -x^{3} -7x^{2} -2x+12\).
Given expression is,
\((2x^4 + 5x^3 - 8x^2 - x+10)\) and \((8x^4 - 4x^3 + x^2 - x + 2)\).
We have to find the sum of both expression.
Since both the term contains same variable x, so
\(2x^4 + 5x^3 - 8x^2 - x+10+8x^4 - 4x^3 + x^2 - x + 2\)
on arranging the terms we get,
\(2x^4+8x^4+5x^3-4x^3-8x^2+x^2-x-x+10+2\)
adding like terms, we get
\(10x^{4} -x^{3} -7x^{2} -2x+12\) .
Hence the required expression is \(10x^{4} -x^{3} -7x^{2} -2x+12\).
