Solution

Yes, that's correct. When subtracting polynomials, you must distribute the minus sign to all of the terms in the polynomial being subtracted. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Write down the polynomials that you want to subtract. For example, let's take (3x^2 + 2x - 1) - (x^2 - 3x + 2).

  2. Distribute the minus sign to all of the terms in the polynomial being subtracted. This changes the sign of each term in the second polynomial. So, (x^2 - 3x + 2) becomes (-x^2 + 3x - 2).

  3. Now, subtract the corresponding terms in the two polynomials. So, (3x^2 + 2x - 1) - (x^2 - 3x + 2) becomes (3x^2 - x^2) + (2x + 3x) + (-1 - 2).

  4. Simplify each term to get the final result. So, (3x^2 - x^2) + (2x + 3x) + (-1 - 2) simplifies to 2x^2 + 5x - 3.

So, the result of subtracting the polynomial (x^2 - 3x + 2) from the
