P(x) plus Q(x) simplifies to a degree-3 polynomial: 2x^3 + x^2 + 4x + 7

  • P(x) = 2x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x + 1 (degree 3); Q(x) = 4x^2 - x + 6 (degree 2).
  • The result has 4 non-zero terms after combining like terms.
  • The degree of the result (3) equals the highest degree among the two input polynomials.
