Question 847144
The leading term is the first term (when the terms are sorted properly). The leading term is 4p^5.


The degree is the exponent of the leading term (basically the largest exponent of the polynomial. This only works if there is one variable). The <font color="red">degree is 5</font> since the exponent for the leading term is 5.


There are <font color="red">4 terms</font> and they are: 4p^5, -p^3, p^2, 11


Basically each term is separated by a + sign
