The answer is D, because that is what you should get when you multiply it out. 
4x^2 times x^2 = 4x^4 because...
1) multiply the 4 and the one in front of the x on the second term = 4 then 
2) multiply x^2 times x^2 to get x^4, not x^3, so you can immediately eliminate A and B to save time.
Now let's deal with the second part..."may or may not be" part
A polynomial is an expression with more than two algebraic terms 
terms are like...
2x + 3y ---there's two terms there, eventhough the 2 and x are multiplied, it doesn't count (same with the 3 and y)
since it only have two terms, not more than two terms, it is called a binomial, not polynomial. I think that's what they mean by that 
one term with a variable (y,x,and so on) is called a monomial
one term with no var is called a constant 
there's many more but hope this gave you some help
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In each option you need to find the number of outcomes of a single event and then multiply that by the number of times that event takes place.
1. 2 outcomes (heads and tails)
2. 6 outcomes (2 outcomes * 3 tosses)
3. 60 outcomes (6 outcomes per die * 10 rolls)
4. 12 outcomes (6 outcomes per die * 2 rolls)
5. 10 outcomes (10 numbers on the pad)
6. 52 outcomes (52 cards in a regular deck)
7. 32 outcomes (32 letters in the alphabet)
8. 7 outcomes (7 letters to choose from)
9. 10 outcomes (10 letters to choose from)
10. 36 outcomes (36 crayons to choose from)
 
        
             
        
        
        
1/4 - 1/6 = (6-4)/24 = 2/24 = 1/12
1/3 - 1/4 = (4-3)/12 = 1/12
