What is the sum of the polynomials?
11x^2-5
+ x-4

11x^2 +x -9

Step-by-step explanation:

first calculate the difference

11x^2-5+x-4

11^2-9+x

then reorder the terms, so just switch the -9 and x

11^2+x-9

and your done

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
