Combine polynomials

Use x^2 notation and add or subtract up to four expressions.

Simplified result
2x^2 + 2x

Like powers are combined and the original operations are preserved.

Expression(x^2 + 2x + 1) + (x^2 − 1)

Combine like powers in (x^2 + 2x + 1) + (x^2 − 1).

Collect coefficients for each power of x.

(x^2 + 2x + 1) + (x^2 − 1) = 2x^2 + 2x

This tool combines polynomials; it does not expand products such as (x + 1)(x − 1).

Practical notes about the inputs, assumptions, and result.

Use x^2 for a squared term, for example 3x^2 - 2x + 1. The calculator also accepts a superscript square in pasted input.
