Adding and Subtracting Polynomials

What is true about the sum of the two polynomials? 6s2t - 2st2 4s2t - 3st2

The sum is a binomial with a degree of 3.

The revenue, in dollars, of a company that produces jeans can be modeled by 2x2 + 17x - 175. The cost, in dollars, of producing the jeans can be modeled by 2x2 - 3x - 125. The number of pairs of jeans that have been sold is represented by x. The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost, 20x - 50. If 75 pairs of jeans are sold, what is the company's profit?

The sum of two polynomials is 8d5 - 3c3d2 + 5c2d3 - 4cd4 + 9. If one addend is 2d5 - c3d2 + 8cd4 + 1, what is the other addend?

6d5 - 2c3d2 + 5c2d3 - 12cd4 + 8

What is the additive inverse of the polynomial -9xy2 + 6x2y - 5x3?

9xy2 - 6x2y + 5x3

Profit is the difference between revenue and cost. The revenue, in dollars, of a company that manufactures televisions can be modeled by the polynomial 3x2 + 180x. The cost, in dollars, of producing the televisions can be modeled by 3x2 - 160x + 300. The variable x is the number of televisions sold. If 150 televisions are sold, what is the profit?

Which is true about the completely simplified difference of the polynomials a3b + 9a2b2 − 4ab5 and a3b − 3a2b2 + ab5?

The difference is a binomial with a degree of 6.

Which is true about the degree of the sum and difference of the polynomials 3x5y - 2x3y4 - 7xy3 and -8x5y + 2x3y4 + xy3?

The sum has a degree of 6, but the difference has a degree of 7.

What is the sum of the polynomials? (-x2 + 9) + (-3x2 - 11x + 4)

-4x2 - 11x + 13

What is the difference of the polynomials? (-2x3y2 + 4x2y3 - 3xy4) - (6x4y - 5x2y3 - y5)

-6x4-2x3y2+9x3y3-3xy4+y5

Profit is the difference between revenue and cost. The revenue, in dollars, of a company that manufactures cell phones can be modeled by the polynomial 2x2 + 55x + 10. The cost, in dollars, of producing the cell phones can be modeled by 2x2 - 15x - 40. The variable x represents the number of cell phones sold.What expression represents the profit, and what is the profit if 240 cell phones are sold?
