$4a-2b+c$

Answer 1

Given an algebraic expression, $4a-2b+c$

The various parts of an algebraic expression that are separated by the$\text{'}+\text{'}$ or $\text{'}-\text{'}$signs are called the terms of the algebraic expression.

The terms of an algebraic expression $4a-2b+c$ are $4a,-2b$ and $c$

The given algebraic expression has three terms.

Hence, terms are $4a,-2b,c$ and the number of terms is $3$.
