To add the polynomial expressions 3 - 2p - 5p^2 and p^4 - 3p + 4, we group the terms with the same powers of p together and then combine like terms:
The powers of p^4, p^2, and p are not present in 3 - 2p - 5p^2. So, these terms remain the same:
p^4 - 5p^2 - 5p
Now, let's combine the constant terms:
3 + 4 = 7
Therefore, the sum of the polynomial expressions is p^4 - 5p^2 - 5p + 7.
