Terms in polynomials are simply separated by a plus or minus sign. For example, if you had: x+12x, that would be a binomial (two terms). A trinomial is when the expression has three or more terms, 7x+12x-6x.

A term is separated from other terms by addition or subtraction. For example, 4x^2 + 3x -1 has three terms.
