Answer:

2 terms

Explanation:

The word "term" is used to refer to all kinds of expressions and parts of expressions. In a polynomial in standard form, we generally consider a terms to be the elements of the sum.

Here, the terms are ...

  • 6y
  • +3

There are 2 terms.

__

Additional comment

In a polynomial, a term will generally be a constant, or a constant multiplied by a variable or some product of variables.

In other kinds of expressions, we often describe explicitly what we're considering to be a term. For example, we might say that in 3√(x+2), the term (x+2) must be non-negative. If this radical expression were part of something larger, we might describe all of it as being a term.

(84x^3/(37y)) + (3√(x+2)) . . . . can be considered to have 2 terms, each an addend of the sum.
