They are just combined to make a longer polynomial. For example 3 + 2x2 + 4x3 added to 5 + x3 + x7 is 8 + 2x2+ 5x3 + x7

To add polynomials with dissimilar terms, you simply combine like terms by collecting the terms with the same variables and exponents. If a variable or exponent is not present in one polynomial, you leave it as it is. Then, you can add or subtract the coefficients of the like terms to arrive at your final answer.
