We are asked to find how many terms are in [tex]\pmb{10y^2-3y+8}[/tex].
[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]
- A term is a thing that's added or subtracted.
So let's compute the number of terms in this expression.
The first term is [tex]\pmb{10y^2}[/tex].
Is anything added or subtracted from 10y²?
Sure! [tex]\pmb{-3y}[/tex] is subtracted from 10y².
Also, 8 is added to -3y.
Thus, this expression has 3 terms.
Hope it helps you out! :D
