Answer:

There are 16 terms in the expansion.

Explanation:

Number of terms in a binomial expansion:

The number of terms in a binomial expansion


(a + b)^n

Is n + 1.

Power property:

For a power elevated to another power, we have that:


(a^b)^c = a^(b*c)

In this question:


[(3x^2 + 7x)^3]^5 = (3x^2 + 7x)^(3*5) = (3x^2 + 7x)^(15)

So
n = 15, then the number of terms is
n + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16

There are 16 terms in the expansion.
