Question

What is the standard form of `y= (2x-2)(3x-14)-3`?

Answer 1

`y=6x^2-34x+25`

Explanation:

Distribute (FOIL) the two binomials.

`y=(6x^2-28x-6x+28)-3`

Combine like terms.

`y=6x^2+(-28x-6x)+(28-3)`

`y=6x^2-34x+25`

This is in standard form since the degrees are placed in descending order. (`x^2,x`, constant)
