How many terms are in this expression?

10+5v3+4t3

1 answer

To determine how many terms are in the expression \(10 + 5v^3 + 4t^3\), we need to recognize what constitutes a term. A term is typically a single mathematical expression that may include numbers, variables, and coefficients, separated by addition or subtraction.

In the given expression:

  • \(10\) is one term.
  • \(5v^3\) is another term.
  • \(4t^3\) is the third term.

When we count these, we see that there are three distinct terms in the expression:

  1. \(10\)
  2. \(5v^3\)
  3. \(4t^3\)

Thus, the total number of terms in the expression \(10 + 5v^3 + 4t^3\) is 3.
