The expression \( 4x^2 - 2x + 1 \) consists of three terms:

1. \( 4x^2 \)
2. \( -2x \)
3. \( 1 \)

So, there are **three terms** in total.

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree. In this case, the term with the highest degree is \( 4x^2 \), and its coefficient is **4**.

To summarize:
- Number of terms: **3**
- Leading coefficient: **4**

Yes, I am sure. In the expression \( 4x^2 - 2x + 1 \):

1. The terms are:
- \( 4x^2 \) (which is the quadratic term)
- \( -2x \) (which is the linear term)
- \( 1 \) (which is the constant term)

So there are indeed **three terms** in total.

2. The leading term is \( 4x^2 \), and the leading coefficient (the coefficient of the term with the highest degree) is **4**.
