Given the following expression


\begin{gathered} (x^5)/(2)\text{ - x + 4} \\ \text{This can be written as} \\ (1)/(2)x^5\text{ - x + 4} \\ \text{The terms are }(1)/(2)x^5\text{ and -x} \end{gathered}

The number of terms in this expression is 2\

A term contains both variable and coefficient

example: 3x

3 = coefficient

x = variable

3x is a term
