How do you simplify (4B ^ { 4} - 3B ^ { 3} + 2B ^ { 2} ) + ( B + 2B ^ { 4} + 3B ^ { 3} )?

6B^4 +2B^2+B

Explanation:

(4B^4 -3B^3 +2B^2)+(B+2B^4+3B^3)

The first ones you want to add first are the one that have higher exponents: ( B^4 in this case)

( 6B^4 -3B^3 +2B^2)+(B+3B^3)

Then the B^3. Since we have nothing to add more because B^2 and B are different, here's our final answer:

6B^4 +2B^2+B
