Q. Click and drag like terms onto each other to simplify fully.4y2+5−3y3+3y3+2y2−7y2−3
Identify Like Terms: Identify like terms in the expression 4y2+5−3y3+3y3+2y2−7y2−3. Like terms are terms that have the same variable raised to the same power. Here, the like terms are:- 4y2, 2y2, and −7y2 because they all have y raised to the power of 2.- −3y3 and 3y3 because they both have y raised to the power of 3.- 4y20 and 4y21 because they are both constant terms without any variables.
Combine Like Terms with y2: Combine the like terms that have y raised to the power of 2.4y2+2y2−7y2=(4+2−7)y2=−1y2
Combine Like Terms with y3: Combine the like terms that have y raised to the power of 3.−3y3+3y3=(−3+3)y3=0y3Since 0 times any number is 0, the y3 terms cancel each other out.
Combine Constant Terms: Combine the constant terms. 5−3=2
Write Simplified Expression: Write down the simplified expression with the combined like terms.The y3 terms have canceled out, so we are left with −1y2 and the constant term 2.The simplified expression is −1y2+2.
