Expand the product and group like terms. One term will have x to the power zero. That is the constant. The other terms will have x to the power 1 and power 2.

Are 2 and -5 constants?

In the context of polynomial functions, which I believe is the context of this problem, "constant" refers to the term of power zero in the polynomial. For a polynomial expression of the form
ax2 + bx + c,
the constant is c. In this particular problem, the constant term is -10.
