Answer 11

as jdoe0001 said: each term is separated by a plus or minus

basic form: term + term or term - term

something like that

Answer 12

hmm not quite
a polynomial is defined as \[p(x)=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+...+a_nx^n\]
\[a_0, ~a_1x,~ a_2x^2...\] these are called the polynomial's terms

Answer 13

so according to jdoe0001 what do you think?
