To answer the problem above we must first get the difference between the polynomials. In equation,

(a^3b + 9a^2b^2 - 4ab^5) - (a^3b - 3a^2b^2 + ab^5) =

6a^2b^2 - 3ab^5. This is the difference between the two completely simplified polynomials, The difference between the two is a binomial with a degree of 5.
