Chapter 14, Problem 4PT

To determine

To calculate: The simplified form of the polynomial $ab+b+a-6ab$ .

Answer to Problem 4PT

The simplified form of the polynomial $ab+b+a-6ab$ is $b+a-5ab$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The polynomialexpression is $ab+b+a-6ab$ .

Calculation:

The given polynomial is $ab+b+a-6ab$ .

Now, find the simplified form of the polynomial $ab+b+a-6ab$ .

  $\begin{array}{c}ab+b+a-6ab=b+a-6ab+ab\\ =b+a-5ab\end{array}$

Hence, the simplified form of the polynomial $ab+b+a-6ab$ is $b+a-5ab$ .
