Answer:
• Number of terms: 4
,
• Degree: 3
Explanation:
Given the polynomial:
[tex]8x^3y^2+3x^2y^2+2xy-y[/tex]
(a)The terms in the polynomial are:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x^3y^2 \\ 3x^2y^2 \\ 2xy \\ -y \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the number of terms in the polynomial is 4.
(b)The degree of the polynomial is the highest power of the variables in the polynomial.
• The highest power = 3
Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 3.
