The video tutorial explains how to identify the terms, coefficients, and exponents in a polynomial. It begins by defining terms as the components being added in a polynomial, using examples like 3x squared, -8x, and 7. The tutorial then discusses coefficients, which are the numbers multiplying the variable part of each term, emphasizing that coefficients can be negative. Finally, it covers exponents, explaining how to determine the power to which the variable is raised in each term, including constants as terms with an exponent of zero.

What is a term in a polynomial?
