Questions: Determine the terms and degree of the polynomial. -7x⁴ + 2x³ - 5x² + x + 12 (A) Terms: 7x⁴, 2x³, 5x², x, -12; degree: 10 (B) Terms: -7x⁴, 2x³, -5x², x, 12; degree: 10 (C) Terms: 7x⁴, 2x³, 5x², x, -12; degree: 4 (D) Terms: -7x⁴, 2x³, -5x², x, 12; degree: 4

△ Identify the terms and degree of the polynomial \(-7x^4 + 2x^3 - 5x^2 + x + 12\). ○ Identify the terms ☼ The terms of the polynomial are \(-7x^4\), \(2x^3\), \(-5x^2\), \(x\), and \(12\). ○ Determine the degree ☼ The degree of the polynomial is 4, as the highest exponent is 4 from the term \(-7x^4\). ✧ The terms are \(-7x^4\), \(2x^3\), \(-5x^2\), \(x\), \(12\), and the degree is 4. The correct answer is (D). ☺ The terms of the polynomial $-7 x^{4}+2 x^{3}-5 x^{2}+x+12$ are $-7 x^{4}$, $2 x^{3}$, $-5 x^{2}$, $x$, and $12$, and its degree is 4. Therefore, the answer is (D).
