Solution Steps

Step 1: Combine like terms

First, identify and group the like terms in the polynomials:

  • \(4x^{2}\) and \(x^{2}\) are like terms.
  • \(-2x\) and \(3x\) are like terms.
  • \(8\) and \(-2\) are like terms.
Step 2: Add the coefficients of like terms

Add the coefficients of the like terms:

  • \(4x^{2} + x^{2} = 5x^{2}\)
  • \(-2x + 3x = x\)
  • \(8 + (-2) = 6\)
Step 3: Write the simplified polynomial

Combine the results from Step 2 to write the simplified polynomial: \[5x^{2} + x + 6\]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{5x^{2} + x + 6}\)
