What is the basic principle that can be used to simplify a polynomial?

Solution

To solve a polynomial always follow the sequence PMDAS i.e. paranthesus { }, then multiplication,division, addituon and subtraction.

Always try to combine like terms find greatest common factor and factor if possible.

2x^2(3x + 4x^3) = 6x^3 + 8x^5
2x^2 + 4x^2 = 6x^2
