#-11x^2-8x+2#

Explanation:

Standard form is where the term with the largest power goes first and then the next highest so that it goes in descending order.
Equations with 1 as the highest power are linear. Quadratics have a squared term as the highest. Cubic have cubed or power 3 as the highest. Then they are known as 'to the power 4', 'to the power 5' etc.
