Answer 1

there are 4 terms

5x^5 is one term
3x^4 is one term
-8x^3 is a term
12 is a term
and i you need to classify by degree the highest exponent is the degree

Answer 2

Polynomial of 4 terms

Explanation:

Given : Polynomial
`5x^5+3x^4-8x^3+12`

To find : Classify polynomial by number of terms?

Solution :

We have given the polynomial
`5x^5+3x^4-8x^3+12`

This polynomial has 4 terms with different degree.

The highest degree polynomial with 5.

When we classify the given polynomial according to number of terms then we say that the given polynomial is of 4 terms.

Therefore, The required statement is 'Polynomial of 4 terms'.
