1. Examples





1. Find addition of `3x^2-10x+25` and `x^2+2x+2`

Solution:
`(3x^2-10x+25) + (x^2+2x+2)`

`=color{blue}{ 3x^2}color{green}{ - 10x}color{red}{ + 25}color{blue}{ + x^2}color{green}{ + 2x}color{red}{ + 2}` (Identify like terms)

`=color{blue}{ 3x^2}color{blue}{ + x^2}color{green}{ - 10x}color{green}{ + 2x}color{red}{ + 25}color{red}{ + 2}` (Rearrange terms to get like terms together)

`=color{blue}{ 4x^2}color{green}{ - 8x}color{red}{ + 27}` (Combine like terms)



Method-2: Add using the Vertical method

```3x^2``-``10x``+``25`
+```x^2``+``2x``+``2`

```4x^2``-``8x``+``27`

2. Find addition of `4x^3-2x^2+x-8` and `x^3-4x^2-4x-1`

Solution:
`(4x^3-2x^2+x-8) + (x^3-4x^2-4x-1)`

`=color{maroon}{ 4x^3}color{blue}{ - 2x^2}color{green}{ + x}color{red}{ - 8}color{maroon}{ + x^3}color{blue}{ - 4x^2}color{green}{ - 4x}color{red}{ - 1}` (Identify like terms)

`=color{maroon}{ 4x^3}color{maroon}{ + x^3}color{blue}{ - 2x^2}color{blue}{ - 4x^2}color{green}{ + x}color{green}{ - 4x}color{red}{ - 8}color{red}{ - 1}` (Rearrange terms to get like terms together)

`=color{maroon}{ 5x^3}color{blue}{ - 6x^2}color{green}{ - 3x}color{red}{ - 9}` (Combine like terms)



Method-2: Add using the Vertical method

```4x^3``-``2x^2``+``x``-``8`
+```x^3``-``4x^2``-``4x``-``1`

```5x^3``-``6x^2``-``3x``-``9`

3. Find addition of `8x^3+10x-6` and `2x^2-4x+1`

Solution:
`(8x^3+10x-6) + (2x^2-4x+1)`

`=color{maroon}{ 8x^3}color{green}{ + 10x}color{red}{ - 6}color{blue}{ + 2x^2}color{green}{ - 4x}color{red}{ + 1}` (Identify like terms)

`=color{maroon}{ 8x^3}color{blue}{ + 2x^2}color{green}{ + 10x}color{green}{ - 4x}color{red}{ - 6}color{red}{ + 1}` (Rearrange terms to get like terms together)

`=color{maroon}{ 8x^3}color{blue}{ + 2x^2}color{green}{ + 6x}color{red}{ - 5}` (Combine like terms)



Method-2: Add using the Vertical method

```8x^3``+``0x^2``+``10x``-``6`
+```2x^2``-``4x``+``1`

```8x^3``+``2x^2``+``6x``-``5`

4. Find addition of `6x^3+x^2+2x+6` and `x^3+4x^2-4x-16`

Solution:
`(6x^3+x^2+2x+6) + (x^3+4x^2-4x-16)`

`=color{maroon}{ 6x^3}color{blue}{ + x^2}color{green}{ + 2x}color{red}{ + 6}color{maroon}{ + x^3}color{blue}{ + 4x^2}color{green}{ - 4x}color{red}{ - 16}` (Identify like terms)

`=color{maroon}{ 6x^3}color{maroon}{ + x^3}color{blue}{ + x^2}color{blue}{ + 4x^2}color{green}{ + 2x}color{green}{ - 4x}color{red}{ + 6}color{red}{ - 16}` (Rearrange terms to get like terms together)

`=color{maroon}{ 7x^3}color{blue}{ + 5x^2}color{green}{ - 2x}color{red}{ - 10}` (Combine like terms)



Method-2: Add using the Vertical method

```6x^3``+``x^2``+``2x``+``6`
+```x^3``+``4x^2``-``4x``-``16`

```7x^3``+``5x^2``-``2x``-``10`

5. Find addition of `x^4-4x^3-4x+4` and `x^4-x^2+2x-2`

Solution:
`(x^4-4x^3-4x+4) + (x^4-x^2+2x-2)`

`=color{fuchsia}{ x^4}color{maroon}{ - 4x^3}color{green}{ - 4x}color{red}{ + 4}color{fuchsia}{ + x^4}color{blue}{ - x^2}color{green}{ + 2x}color{red}{ - 2}` (Identify like terms)

`=color{fuchsia}{ x^4}color{fuchsia}{ + x^4}color{maroon}{ - 4x^3}color{blue}{ - x^2}color{green}{ - 4x}color{green}{ + 2x}color{red}{ + 4}color{red}{ - 2}` (Rearrange terms to get like terms together)

`=color{fuchsia}{ 2x^4}color{maroon}{ - 4x^3}color{blue}{ - x^2}color{green}{ - 2x}color{red}{ + 2}` (Combine like terms)



Method-2: Add using the Vertical method

```x^4``-``4x^3``+``0x^2``-``4x``+``4`
+```x^4``+``0x^3``-``x^2``+``2x``-``2`

```2x^4``-``4x^3``-``x^2``-``2x``+``2`
