Add the expression:(3/4)x2, 5 x2, -3x2, -(1/4) x2

1.	Add the expression:(3/4)x2, 5 x2, -3x2, -(1/4) x2
Answer» (3/4)x², 5 x², -3x², -(1/4) x² In the above questions terms having the same literal factors are like terms. Now add the like terms, = (3/4)x² + 5x² – 3x² – (1/4) x² = (3/4)x²– (1/4) x² + 5x² – 3x² = ((3-1)/4)x² + 2x² = (2/4)x² + 2x² = (1/2)x² + 2x² = ((1 + 4)/2)x² = (5/2)x²

Answer»

(3/4)x², 5 x², -3x², -(1/4) x²

In the above questions terms having the same literal factors are like terms.

Now add the like terms,

= (3/4)x² + 5x² – 3x² – (1/4) x²

= (3/4)x²– (1/4) x² + 5x² – 3x²

= ((3-1)/4)x² + 2x²

= (2/4)x² + 2x²

= (1/2)x² + 2x²

= ((1 + 4)/2)x²

= (5/2)x²
