SOLUTION: The original problem: (8n^6+3n^4+2)-(-4n^6+11n^4-13) I simplified it to this: 12n^6-8n^4+15 I feel like it is still not simplified enough. Can the two ns be combined even though

Question 830101: The original problem: (8n^6+3n^4+2)-(-4n^6+11n^4-13)
I simplified it to this: 12n^6-8n^4+15
I feel like it is still not simplified enough. Can the two ns be combined even though the exponents are different?

So far so good.
No you can't combine any more
All roots are imaginary complex roots
