Q. What is the sum of (w6+32w2) and (21w6+31w2+41)?
Add coefficients of w^6: Add the coefficients of the w6 terms.We have w6 from the first polynomial and 21w6 from the second polynomial. Adding these together gives us:w6+21w6=22w6+21w6=23w6
Add coefficients of w^2: Add the coefficients of the w2 terms.We have 32w2 from the first polynomial and 31w2 from the second polynomial. Adding these together gives us:32w2+31w2=33w2=w2
Add constant terms: Add the constant terms.There is no constant term in the first polynomial, but there is a 41 in the second polynomial. Since there is nothing to add to 41, it remains as it is.0+41=41
Combine results for final sum: Combine the results from Steps 1, 2, and 3 to get the final sum.The sum of the two polynomials is:23w6+w2+41
