Add and Subtract Polynomials Steps

Lisa and John are comparing their savings over the year. Lisa's savings can be represented by the polynomial (3- 2x + 2x²), indicating her savings in thousands over x months, while John's savings are represented by (4x -5 +3x²), also in thousands over x months. Calculate the difference between Lisa's and John's savings. 

• x_² + 6x + 8

• 2x² + 5x - 7

• -x² -6x + 8

• -2x² + 11x - 4

Dr. Smith, a mathematician, is analyzing the growth patterns of two different species of plants over time. She models the growth of each species with polynomial equations and decides to compare their growth by subtracting the polynomial equation of species B from species A: (5x⁴ – 4x³ – 2x² + x – 19) – (x⁴ + 5x³ + 8x² + x + 5)

• 4x⁴ – 9x³ – 10x² – 24

• 4x⁴ – 9x³ – 10x² – 2x – 24

• 4x⁴ – 9x³ – 10x² + 2x – 24

• -4x⁴ – 9x³ – 10x² – 24

At Lucy's Cafe, Lucy is working on the financials for the month. She applies the formula:
(6c³ + 6 - c⁴) - (8c³ - 6c⁴ + 2) to calculate her monthly expenses and profits, where c represents the number of coffee batches brewed. Simplify the expression to find the formula for her monthly financial calculation.

• 4c⁴ - 2c³ + 7

• 5c⁴ - 2c³ + 4

• c⁴ - 2c³ + 7

• 5c⁴ - 2c³ + 7
