Answers:

  • Number of terms: 5
  • Coefficients: 4, 4, -5 and 1
  • Constant term: 3

===================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term is separated by a plus sign or a minus sign. We could rewrite the 4ab-5b portion as 4ab + (-5b) to help get everything separated by a plus sign.

The five terms are

  • 3
  • 4ab
  • 4ab
  • -5b
  • m

The coefficients are the numbers just to the left of the variable. For a term like 4ab, the coefficient is 4. For the term "m", we can think of it as 1m so we can see it has a coefficient of 1.

The constant term is the term that doesn't have any variable attached to it. That would be the "3" as the first term.
