Add $ \, \color{blue}{ x^2 } \, $ and $ \, \color{orangered}{ 1 }$.
Answer
$$ \color{blue}{x^2} + \color{orangered}{1} = x^2+1 $$
Explanation
Step 1: Write second polynomial below the first one. Making sure like terms are lined up.
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & x^2 & \\ \color{blue}{ + } & & 1 \\ \hline \end{array} $$Step 2: Combine like terms (add each column):
$$ \begin{array}{lrr} & x^2 & \\ \color{blue}{ + } & & 1 \\ \hline & x^2 & 1 \end{array} $$This page was created using
