Answer»

The correct answer is (c) 3

Easiest explanation: We can GET number of TERMS by separating them by “+” or “–” SIGN.

In the GIVEN polynomial 5x^2+2X-2, if we separate expressions by “+” or “–” sign, we get three separate terms as 5x^2, 2x and 2.

Hence we can say that there are three terms in the polynomial 5x^2+2x-2.
