Answer:

Answer C

Step-by-step explanation:

I took this quiz and I got it right

According to the polynomial expressions the given operation is performed which matches the equivalent result:

D. P +Q

What are Polynomials?

Polynomials are expressions which consist of variables, coefficients, constants and exponents, usually expressed in addition, subtraction or multiplication operations.

For example:

8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

In this equation we have coefficients: 8, 6 and 8

                                          Exponents: 4 and 3

                                          Variable: y

Hence,the question consists of polynomial functions in the variable y with different degrees.

Given

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7)

We are asked to find which operation among the given list matches the equivalent result i.e 23⁴ - 6y³ +35y² - 20y4

Solution:

P = 8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7)

step 1:

Open the brackets of the Q polynomial

Q = (5y² - 4y)(3y² + 7)

Q= (5y²)(3y²) + (5y²)(7) - (4y)(3y²) - (4y)(7)

Q= 15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y

Step 2:

Now add both P and Q

P+Q

(8y⁴ + 6y³ + 8y ) + (15y⁴ + 35y² - 12y³ - 28y)

we get the answer as:

23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y

Hence the solution of the addition operation we performed is equivalent to 23y⁴ - 6y³ + 35y² - 20y
