Worksheet for Polynomial Subtraction

This worksheet help you to understand how to perform subtraction between two set of given polynomials. The polynomial term is in the form of
aX⁵ + bX⁴ + cX³ + dX² + eX¹ + f .

In polynomial subtraction
1. The coefficient term of same degree should be subtracted
2. Put zero if there is any degree of absence

Example:
Find the resulting polynomial for the given two polynomial,
Eq1 =6X⁵ + 5X⁴ + 4X³ + 3X² + 2X¹ + 1
Eq2 = 1X⁵ + 2X⁴ + 3X³ + 4X² + 5X¹ + 6
The final result is ,
Eq = (6-1)X⁵ + (5-2)X⁴ + (4-3)X³ + (3-4)X² + (2-5)X¹ + (1-6)
= 5X⁵ + 3X⁴ + 1X³ - 1X² - 3X - 5

The resulting polynomial is
5X⁵ + 3X⁴ + 1X³ - 1X² - 3X - 5

When you try such calculations on your own, this polynomial subtraction calculator can be used to verify your results of calculations.
