Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. In the given polynomial, $-3 z^{4}$ and $5 z^{4}$ are like terms because they both contain $z$ raised to the fourth power. Similarly, $6 z^{3}$ and $2 z^{3}$ are like terms because they both contain $z$ raised to the third power.
