How many coefficients does this polynomial have in its complete form, including any missing terms? -5x^3+2x^2+1

moreso:

$$ \Large -5x^3+2x^2+0x + 1$$

moreso:

I see three coefficients, -5,2 and 0. I don't think we count the constant term as a coefficient.

zarkam21:

No, it isn't only 3 you have to count in the missing coefficients as well.

moreso:

I did.

zarkam21:

So is it 4?
