Exercise 19 Page 490

Remember, only like terms can be combined.

14t^4

Practice makes perfect
The first step in simplifying this expression is to identify which, if any, terms can be combined. Remember, only like terms — constant terms or terms with the same variable — can be combined. 3t^4+ 11t^4 In this case we have only two t^4-terms, so let's combine like terms.
3t^4+11t^4
14t^4
