(a) What should be subtracted from 2x3 – 3x2y + 2xy2 + 3y3 to get x3 – 2x2y + 3xy2 + 4y3?
(b) What should be subtracted from –7mn + 2m2 + 3n2 to get m2 + 2mn + n2?
(a) Let’s consider the first term to be A and second term to be B.
According to question
A – x = B
i.e., there is a x which is subtracted from A to get B
So x=A – B
2x3 – 3x2y + 2xy2 + 3y3 - x3 + 2x2y - 3xy2 - 4y3
= x3 – 2x2y + 3xy2 + 4y3
(b) Let’s consider the first term to be A and second term to be B.
According to question
A – x = B
i.e., there is a x which is subtracted from A to get B
So x=A – B
–7mn + 2m2 + 3n2 - m2 - 2mn - n2
= -9mn + m2 + 2n2
