5562 + 6stº -85642 - 6t after it has been fully simplified?
O It has 3 terms and a degree of 9.
It has 3 terms and a degree of 10.
It has 4 terms and a degree of 9.
O It has 4 terms and a degree of 10.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The two terms with

`{s}^(6) {t}^(2)`

can be combined, leaving us with 3 terms.

The degree of the polynomial can be found with the st^9 term. Adding the exponents, we get 1+9=10
