b and e

Explanation:

Answer 2

• There are 3 terms in the product.
• The product is degree 2.

Explanation:

Use the distributive property:

(-d +e)(4e +d) = -d(4e +d) +e(4e +d)

= -4de -d^2 +4e^2 +de . . . . . . use the distributive property again

= -d^2 -3de +4e^2 . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

__

There are 3 terms.

Every term is of degree 2, so the product is of degree 2.
