4. A biologist studied the populations of common guppies and Endler's guppies over a 6-year period. The biologist modeled the populations, in tens of thousands, with the following polynomials where x is time, in years.
Common guppies: 3.1x^2 + 6x + 0.3
Endler's guppies: 4.2x^2 - 5.2 + 1
What polynomial models the total number of common and Endler's guppies?

To find the sum of 4x^10 and 9x^10, add the coefficient of the like terms:
4x^10 + 9x^10 = (4 + 9)x^10 = 13x^10
Therefore, the sum of 4x^10 and 9x^10 is 13x^10.
