$(- 4 k^{4} + 14 + 3 k^{2}) + (- 3 k^{4} - 14 k^{2} - 8)$

Step 1

To write a polynomial in standard form, simplify and then arrange the terms in descending order.

$a x^{2} + b x + c$

Step 2

Subtract $3 k^{4}$ from $- 4 k^{4}$ .

$- 7 k^{4} + 14 + 3 k^{2} - 14 k^{2} - 8$

Step 3

Subtract $8$ from $14$ .

$- 7 k^{4} + 3 k^{2} - 14 k^{2} + 6$

Step 4

Subtract $14 k^{2}$ from $3 k^{2}$ .

$- 7 k^{4} - 11 k^{2} + 6$
