Answer:

Degree: 4

Number of terms: 4

Leading Coefficient: 4

Constant: -20

Explanation:

1) Expand (x+3)(x-4) into x^2 - x - 12

2) Combine like terms; equation becomes 4x^4 + x^2 + 4x - 20

3) Degree is looking for the highest exponent; in this case, it's 4

4) Number of terms is looking for how many terms there are in this equation; there are 4 terms

5) Leading Coefficient is looking for the coefficient of the term with the highest exponent, so the answer is 4

6) Constant is looking for the term without a variable

Hope this helps!
