Concept explainers
To evaluate how to add polynomials without using numbers.
Answer to Problem 21HP
Polynomials can be added with the help of algebra tiles.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Polynomial addition
Formula used: Polynomial addition
Calculation:
Let, 2x2 and x2+1 be the polynomials which needs to be added.
Hence,
2x2+(x2+1)
Here, 2x2 is represented by two blue tiles and x2+1 is represented by 1blue and one yellow tile.
On solving, 2x2 and x2 adds,
Result, is 3x2+1
