Explanation:

This polynomial has like terms that can further be simplified

2 - 11x^2 + 6x^2- 8x

2 - 5x^2 - 8x

multiply by negative to take 2 to the right.

-(2 - 5x^2 - 8x)

= 5x^2 + 8x - 2

It's named a Second Degree Polynomial because the highest degree(exponent) of x in the final solution is 2.

it has 3 terms : 5x^2 , 8x , 2
