Verified Answer :

a^3 + 3a^2 b - 4ab - 11b + 7 has five terms.

Answer:

5 terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The expression is \(a^3 + 3a^2b -4ab -11b + 7\).

Now, 'A polynomial is of the form \(a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+.....+a_1x+a_0\)'.

Then, the given expression is a polynomial with the terms,

\(a^3, 3a^2b, 4ab, 11b, 7\)

That is, there are total 5 terms in the given expression.

Hence, the expression contains 5 terms.
