Add the Polynomials A) $\frac { 3 } { 4 } x ^ { 8 } + \frac { 3 } { 5 } x ^ { 6 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } x ^ { 2 } + 16$

question 102

Multiple Choice

Add the polynomials. Assume all variable exponents represent whole numbers.
- $$\left( \frac { 1 } { 8 } x ^ { 4 } + \frac { 2 } { 5 } x ^ { 3 } - \frac { 1 } { 6 } x + 7 \right) + \left( - \frac { 5 } { 8 } x ^ { 4 } - \frac { 1 } { 5 } x ^ { 3 } + \frac { 1 } { 3 } x - 9 \right)$$

• A) \(\frac { 3 } { 4 } x ^ { 8 } + \frac { 3 } { 5 } x ^ { 6 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } x ^ { 2 } + 16\)
• B) \(\frac { 3 } { 4 } x ^ { 4 } + \frac { 3 } { 5 } x ^ { 3 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + 16\)
• C) \(\frac { 1 } { 8 } x ^ { 8 } + \frac { 2 } { 5 } x ^ { 6 } - \frac { 1 } { 6 } x ^ { 2 } + 7\)
• D) \(- \frac { 1 } { 2 } x ^ { 4 } + \frac { 1 } { 5 } x ^ { 3 } + \frac { 1 } { 6 } x - 2\)
