In the expression \( 4x^2 - 2x + 1 \):
1. The number of terms is 3: \( 4x^2 \), \( -2x \), and \( 1 \).
2. The leading coefficient of the first term (\( 4x^2 \)) is 4.
So, the answers are:
- How many terms are there? **3**
- What is the leading coefficient of the first term? **4**
Since the options given for the leading coefficient do not include 4, if you were supposed to select from the listed options A through E, the question could be about something else related to the polynomial. Please clarify if you need additional information!

Let’s go through it step-by-step:
1. **Expression**: The expression given is \( 4x^2 - 2x + 1 \).
2. **Number of Terms**:
- The terms in the expression are:
- \( 4x^2 \) (first term)
- \( -2x \) (second term)
- \( 1 \) (third term)
- So, there are **3 terms** in total.
3. **Leading Coefficient**:
- The leading term is the term with the highest power of \( x \), which is \( 4x^2 \).
- The coefficient of this term is **4**.
Since you are asking about the leading coefficient and related options (A through E), the numbers provided (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) only include 4 for the leading coefficient.
Thus, the confirmation is:
- Number of terms: **3**
- Leading coefficient: **4** (which matches option E, if it was intended to be included).
Please let me know if you have further questions or if there's anything else I can clarify!
