Differences of Polynomials (CA SS: 10.0)

p.238 (3-21:odd)
ALT/GATE p.238 (29-43:odd)

We have a Washington, D.C. meeting planned for Wednesday, November 10, at El Paso Cantina.  We will have special guest, Betty White, there to answer questions.

today we learned how to find the additive inverse
Ex: 12x4th-3x2nd+4x
Ans: -12x4th+3x2nd-4x
We also learned how to subtract the polynomials
Ex: (5x4th+4)-(2x2nd-1)
Ans: 5x4th-2x2nd+5
Ex: (4x3rd+2x2nd-2x-3)-(2x3rd-3x2nd+2)
Ans: 2x3rd+5x2nd-2x-5

Oh...ok. Thanks!

Today we learned how to find the additive inverse. an example would be:
15x-4+19
the additive inverse of this would be:
-15x+4-19
also, we learned how to subtract polynomials an example would be:
(13x2-23+14)-(10x-4+16)
first you remove the parenthesis and find the additive inverse of the polynomial:
13x2-23+14-10x+4-16
then you subtract
13x2-10x-19-2
this is how you subtract polynomials

Journal Entry #29;Subtraction of Polynomaials
Today in class, I learned how to subtract polynomials by adding the additive inverse. An additive inverse is two numbers that make the sum of zero.
Example :
(3y4th-4y+3)-(3y4th-2y+5) =
3y4th-4y+3 (-3y4th+2y-5) =
0y4th-2y-2
= -2y-2

Finding the Additive Inverse:
12x2nd-7x+3
-(12x2nd-7x+3)
= -12x2ndpower+7x-3

Today in math class, we didn't learn any new justifications but did "find the additive inverse" and "subtract the polynomials." It was really easy. We don't need to write any justifications because we just add or subtract.

In class, we learned about the additve inverse which is the opposite.

Example: 12x-3x2+4x
-12x+3x2-4x

Also we learned to subtract polynomials as adding them except you use the additive inverse.

Example:(4x3+2x2-2x-3)-(2x3-3x2+2)
= 4x3+2x2-2x-3-2x3+3x2-2
= 2x3+5x2-2x-5

today we learned hot to find the additive inverse (opposite)
for ex: 12x4th-3x2nd+4x
-(12x4th-3x2nd+4x)
Ans: -12x4th+3x2nd+4x

We also learned how to subtract polynomials horizontally and vertically.
Horizontal Ex: (5x4th+4)-(2x2ns-1)
first, you take the parentheses away & switch the signs
5x4th+4-2x2nd-1
Ans: 5x4th-2x2nd+5
Vertical Ex:
(4x3rd+2x2nd-2x-3)-(2x3rd-3x2nd+2)
4x3rd+2x2nd-2x-3
-2x3rd+3x2nd+0x-2
Ans: 2x3rd+5x2nd-2x-5

Journal Entry, 11/2/2010

Today we learned about the additive inverses, and subtraction of polynomials. Additive inverse is another word for opposite.
For example:
The additive inverse of 6x2nd-4x+2 would be -6x2nd+4x-2

When subtracting polynomials, use the additive inverse, then combine like terms.
For example:
(x3-2x2nd+2)-(x4-2x3rd-3x2nd)
(x3-2x2nd+2)+(-x4+2x3rd+3x2nd)
-x4+3x3rd+x2+2
To subtract in the vertical form,
(4x3rd+2x2nd-2x-3)-(2x3rd-3x2nd+2)
4x3rd+2x2nd-2x-3
-2x3rd+3x2nd+0x-2
------------------
2x3rd+5x2nd-2x-5
