Question

perform the following additions and/or subtractions: ((6v^{4}-8v^{2}-2)-(-2v^{4}+v^{2}+8)=) question help: video ebook message instructor

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute the negative sign

$(6v^4 - 8v^2 - 2) + 2v^4 - v^2 - 8$

Step2: Combine like $v^4$ terms

$6v^4 + 2v^4 = 8v^4$

Step3: Combine like $v^2$ terms

$-8v^2 - v^2 = -9v^2$

Step4: Combine constant terms

$-2 - 8 = -10$

Step5: Combine all simplified terms

$8v^4 - 9v^2 - 10$

Answer:

$8v^4 - 9v^2 - 10$
