iii) 4 x 10 = 40 _______________________________
v) 3y = 4x + 2 _______________________________
ii) (a3 +2a2 -6a + 7); (a3 + 2a +5); (2a3 +2a – a2 -8)
iii) (a3 -2a2b + b3); (4a3 + 2ab2 +6a2b); (2b3 -5a3 – 4a2b)
ii) (3x4 +5x3 +2x2 -x) from (4x4 +2x2 +x3 –x +1)
iv) (a3 +2a2b +3ab2 + b3) from (a3 -3a2b -3ab2 –b3)
5. Find the value of x – 2y + 3z where x = 2a2 –a3 +3a + 4, y = 2a3 –3a2 +2 -2a and z = a4 +
3a3 – 6 – 5a2
6. The sum of two polynomials is x2 +2x – y2. If one polynomial is x2 – 2xy + 3, then find
the other polynomial.
7. Subtract 4x + 6 -2x2 from the sum of x3 +x2 -2x and 2x3 +3x – 7.
