Subtract:

[tex]\left(10f^2 - 12f + 7\right) - \left(-3f^2 - 5f + 11\right)[/tex]

A. [tex]7f^2 - 17f + 18[/tex]

B. [tex]13f^2 - 17f - 4[/tex]

C. [tex]13f^2 - 7f - 4[/tex]

D. [tex]7f^2 - 17f - 4[/tex]

Answer :

Let's solve the subtraction problem step by step:

We want to subtract the expression [tex]\((-3 f^2 - 5 f + 11)\)[/tex] from the expression [tex]\((10 f^2 - 12 f + 7)\)[/tex].

Here's how we do it:

1. Write the original subtraction expression:

[tex]\((10 f^2 - 12 f + 7) - (-3 f^2 - 5 f + 11)\)[/tex]

2. Distribute the negative sign to the second expression:

[tex]\((10 f^2 - 12 f + 7) + (3 f^2 + 5 f - 11)\)[/tex]

Notice that the signs in the second expression have changed because we are subtracting each term.

3. Combine like terms:

- For the [tex]\(f^2\)[/tex] terms:
[tex]\[
10 f^2 + 3 f^2 = 13 f^2
\][/tex]

- For the [tex]\(f\)[/tex] terms:
[tex]\[
-12 f + 5 f = -7 f
\][/tex]

- For the constant terms:
[tex]\[
7 - 11 = -4
\][/tex]

4. Compile the results:

The simplified expression is:
[tex]\[
13 f^2 - 7 f - 4
\][/tex]

Therefore, the result of the subtraction is [tex]\(13 f^2 - 7 f - 4\)[/tex].
