The answer is xy^3 + 3x^2y - 7 and the polynomial is of the fourth degree, with 3 terms.

Explanation:

Given polynomial equation is

xy^3 + 3x^2y - 7

xy^ has a degree of 4

3x^2y has a degree of 3

-7 has a degree of 0

The expression has 3 terms:
color(white)("XXX")xy^3
color(white)("XXX")3x^2y and
color(white)("XXX")-7

The answer is xy^3 + 3x^2y - 7

and the polynomial is of the fourth degree with three terms.
