Answer:
1. Bert got the correct or right answer.
2. x³ + 3x² - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
x² + 5x - 3
(+) (-) (+) (-)
- 4x² - 2x + 1
- 3x² + 7x - 4
Al got the wrong answer because he solved it directly without changing the sign and the operational sign from subtraction (-) to addition (+).
Example 5x - 2x = 3x and - 3 + 1 = - 2.
2. 2x³ + x² - 3
+ (-) (+) (-)
- x³ - 2x² + 5
x³ + 3x² - 8
check:
x³ + 3x² - 8
+ x³ - 2x² + 5
2x³ + x² - 3
Hope it helps.
