Answer:


\begin{gathered} Number\text{ of terms is 2} \\ Degree\text{ of polynomial is 1} \end{gathered}

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the number of terms and degree of the given polynomial

The number of terms refers to the individual units separated by an operator

As we can see, there is a plus sign operator between two terms, 4z and 4

Thus, we have it that the polynomial has 2 terms

The degree of the polynomial refers to the highest power of the variable

We have this as z, which is the same as z^1

Thus, we have the degree of the polynomial as 1
