3. Objective Add and subtract polynomials.

4. Just as you can perform operations on numbers, you can perform operations on polynomials. To add or subtract polynomials, combine like terms.

5. Example 1: Adding and Subtracting Monomials Add or subtract. A. 12p3 + 11p2 + 8p3 Identify like terms. 12p3 + 11p2 + 8p3 Rearrange terms so that like terms are together. 12p3 + 8p3 + 11p2 20p3 + 11p2 Combine like terms.

10. 5x2+ 4x+1 + 2x2+ 5x+ 2 7x2+9x+3 Polynomials can be added in either vertical or horizontal form. In vertical form, align the like terms and add: In horizontal form, use the Associative and Commutative Properties to regroup and combine like terms. (5x2 + 4x + 1) + (2x2 + 5x+ 2) = (5x2 + 2x2) + (4x + 5x) + (1 + 2) = 7x2+ 9x+ 3
