Expanded Form:
A polynomial is an expression with one or more terms, where each term is a constant multiplied by variables raised to non-negative integer powers.
Term 1: 3x² (coefficient 3, degree 2)
Term 2: -5x (coefficient -5, degree 1)
Term 3: 2 (constant term, degree 0)
Degree: The highest power is 2, so this is a 2nd-degree polynomial (quadratic).
