show me how to get the opposite of the polynomial 28x^2 - 7x + 5

Solution:


The opposite of a polynomial P usually refers to the polynomial -P. That is the polynomial that "adds" to P to make 0. 

28x%5E2-7x%2B5 


leads us to 


-%2828x%5E2-7x%2B5%29 


so we reverse the sign or operation for each term: 


-28x%5E2%2B7x-5
