Answer:
[tex]4x^2-21x-2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Difference of two trinomials is [tex]x^2 - 10x + 2[/tex]
One of the two trinomials is [tex]3x^2 - 11x - 4[/tex]
To find:
The other trinomial = ?
Four options are:
[tex]2x2 - x - 2 \\2x2 + x + 6 \\4x2 + 21x + 6\\ 4x2 - 21x - 2[/tex]
Solution:
Let the two trinomials be A and B.
Given A - B = [tex]x^2 - 10x + 2[/tex]
B = [tex]3x^2 - 11x - 4[/tex]
We have to find the other trinomial A.
A - B = [tex]x^2 - 10x + 2[/tex]
A - ([tex]3x^2 - 11x - 4[/tex]) = [tex]x^2 - 10x + 2[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] A = [tex]x^2 - 10x + 2[/tex] + ([tex]3x^2 - 11x - 4[/tex])
[tex]\Rightarrow[/tex] A = [tex]4x^2-21x-2[/tex]
So, the correct answer is [tex]4x^2-21x-2[/tex].
