Remember that the terms of a polynomial are the parts of the polynomial separating by addition and subtraction; in other words, the parts separated by (+) and (-) signs. Knowing this, we can separate the terms of our polynomial:

- First term:

- Second term:

- Third term:

- Fourth term:

- Fifth term:

We can conclude that there are
5 terms in the polynomial

Answer:
4.5 Cubic Feet
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You want to find the volume of the box. (Length x width x height)
2.5 x 2 x 1.5 = 7.5
2. The present has a volume of 3 cubic feet, so you would subtract that from the volume of the box.
7.5 - 3 = 4.5
3. The volume of the empty space in the box is 4.5 cubic feet.
