Chapter 14, Problem 11SGR

To determine

To calculate: The simplified form of the polynomial $x+x^2-3x+5$ .

Answer to Problem 11SGR

The simplified form of the polynomial $x+x^2-3x+5$ is $x^2-2x+5$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The polynomialexpression is $x+x^2-3x+5$ .

Calculation:

The given polynomial is $x+x^2-3x+5$ .

Now, find the simplified form of the polynomial $x+x^2-3x+5$ .

  $\begin{array}{c}x+x^2-3x+5=x^2+\left(x-3x\right)+5\\ =x^2-2x+5\end{array}$

Hence, the simplified form of the polynomial $x+x^2-3x+5$ is $x^2-2x+5$ .
