What is the additive inverse of the polynomial –9xy2 + 6x2y – 5x3?
–9xy2 – 6x2y + 5x3
–9xy2 – 6x2y – 5x3
9xy2 + 6x2y + 5x3
9xy2 – 6x2y + 5x3
The additive inverse of a polynomial is simply the opposite of each term. Therefore, the additive inverse of the polynomial –9xy^2 + 6x^2y – 5x^3 is –9xy^2 – 6x^2y + 5x^3.
So the correct answer is: -9xy^2 - 6x^2y + 5x^3.
