The process of subtracting one polynomial from another, known as polynomial subtraction, is a fundamental operation in mathematics. This operation necessitates the alignment of similar terms, meaning terms that share the same exponent and variable, from each polynomial involved. The subsequent step involves subtracting the coefficients. In situations where no similar terms exist, the terms are merely amalgamated. The outcome of this process is a freshly formed polynomial.
