PROBLEM

Simplify: 3x4+2x35x2+4x2+6x2x3x4+7x53x33 x^{4}+2 x^{3}-5 x^{2}+4 x^{2}+6 x-2 x-3 x^{4}+7 x^{5}-3 x^{3}. Choose A, B, C, or D.

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the expression 3x4+x35x+4x+6xx3x4+7x53x33 x^{4}+ x^{3}-5 x^{}+4 x^{}+6 x- x-3 x^{4}+7 x^{5}-3 x^{3}.
. We need to simplify the expression by combining like terms.

STEP 2

First, we need to identify the like terms in the expression. Like terms are terms that have the same variable and exponent.In our expression, the like terms are- x4 x^{4} and x4- x^{4}
- 2x2 x^{} and x- x^{}
- 5x2-5 x^{2} and 4x24 x^{2}
- 6x6 x and 2x-2 x
- 7x57 x^{5}

STEP 3

Now, we add or subtract the coefficients of the like terms to simplify the expression.
For the xx^{} terms3x3x=0x3 x^{} -3 x^{} =0 x^{}

STEP 4

For the x3x^{3} terms2x33x3=1x32 x^{3} -3 x^{3} = -1 x^{3}

STEP 5

For the x2x^{2} terms5x2+4x2=1x2-5 x^{2} +4 x^{2} = -1 x^{2}

STEP 6

For the xx terms6x2x=4x6 x -2 x =4 x

STEP 7

The x5x^{5} term remains as it is because it does not have any like terms.
7x57 x^{5}

STEP 8

Now, we combine all the simplified terms to get the simplified expression.
7x5+0x4x3x2+4x7 x^{5} +0 x^{4} - x^{3} - x^{2} +4 x

SOLUTION

We can drop the x4 x^{4} term because it equals zero and does not affect the value of the expression.
So, the final simplified expression is7x5x3x2+4x7 x^{5} - x^{3} - x^{2} +4 xThe correct answer is D. 7x5x3x2+4x7 x^{5}-x^{3}-x^{2}+4 x.
