well if you were adding 5x^3-11 and 12x^2 the answer would be 5x^3+12x^2-11 since you cannot combine unlike terms, correct? Well, if you were multiplying them, would it be what? please help me.

Actually, the answer is 60x^5 - 132x². To get that solution, you need to distribute 12x² into each term of the binomial.
12x² * 5x³ - 11 * 12x²
= 60x^(2 + 3) - 132x²
= 60x^5 - 132x²
Make sure to double-check your work. Read the textbook. Practice, practice, practice!
I hope this helps!
