What is the standard form of #y= (x-5)(x+2)^2 #? Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Polynomials in Standard Form 1 Answer Roella W. Jan 6, 2016 #y = x^3 -x^2-15x -20# Explanation: Expand the equation to get rid of the brackets #y = (x-5)(x^2 + 4x +4)# #y= (x^3 +4x^2 +4x - 5x^2 -20x - 20)# #y = x^3 -x^2-15x -20# Answer link Related questions What is a Polynomial?
