raj writes a polynomial expression in standard form using one variable, a, that has 4 terms and is degree 5. Nicole writes a polynomial expression in standard form using one variable, a, that has 3 terms and is degree 2. Raj and Nicole’s polynomial expressions are added to create a sum, written in standard form. What can you determine about the degree of the sum? The sum will be degree . What can you determine about the number of terms of the sum? The maximum number of terms of the sum is , but it could be less.
