6x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 + 15x -14 how many terms are polynomial?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

A term is a number multiplied by zero or more variables. Terms are added together.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

How many terms do you see?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

\(6x^4 + 3x^3 - 2x^2 + 15x -14\) \(= 6x^4 + 3x^3 + (- 2x^2) + 15x + (-14)\) Now you see more clearly how the terms are added together.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Correct. This polynomial has 5 terms.
