Answer 4

Monomial: a single number, or a number multiplied by 1 or more variables.
Polynomial: one monomial or a sum of monomials.
In a polynomial, each monomial is called a term.
Degree of a term: the sum of the exponents of all variables of the term.
Degree of the polynomial: the same as the degree of the term with the highest degree.
Keep in mind that a single variable, such as \(x\) has exponent 1.

Answer 5

Now all we need is the actual polynomial to find its degree and number of terms.
