By definition, a trinomial is an algebraic expression that has 3 terms.

In the given polynomial:


-4b^4+5m^3+2z

We can identify the following terms:


\begin{gathered} -4b^4\text{ First term} \\ +5m^3\text{ Second term} \\ +2z\text{ Third term} \end{gathered}

Then, we can say it is a trinomial.
