Question 6 • Algebra 2

What is the additive inverse of the polynomial? negative 6 x cubed plus 4 x squared minus 4 x

Answer
A
negative 6 x cubed minus 4 x squared minus 4 x
B
6 x cubed plus 4 x squared minus 4 x
C
6 x cubed minus 4 x squared plus 4 x
D
6 x cubed plus 4 x squared plus 4 x

Explanation

The additive inverse is the polynomial that adds to the original to give zero, so change the sign of every term. The opposite of −6x³ + 4x² − 4x is 6x³ − 4x² + 4x. Therefore, the correct choice is 6x cubed minus 4x squared plus 4x.
