Final answer:
The polynomial 556 f² + 6sť - 8362 - 617, when fully simplified, has 4 terms and a degree of 2. The correct statement is: It has 4 terms and a degree of 2 (option d).
Step-by-step explanation:
The polynomial 556 f² + 6sť - 8362 - 617, when fully simplified, has 4 terms and a degree of 2.
To determine the degree of the polynomial, we look at the highest power of the variable. The highest power of the variable 'f' is ², so the degree of the polynomial is 2.
The polynomial has 4 terms because each separated by addition or subtraction counts as a term. So, the correct statement is: It has 4 terms and a degree of 2 (option d).
