4 terms

Explanation:

Each term is a mathematical expression. The exponents or variables in each term makes it separate. For example, #x^4# is not the same as #x^3#, because they cannot be combined, like #x# and #x# to form #2x#.

#5x^4#
#6x^3#
#-2x#
#7#

Each are their own term because they cannot be combined into like terms.
