Question

What is the standard form of `y= (12x-2)^2 + 11x`?

Answer 1

`y= 144x^2 - 37x +4`

Explanation:

To put a polynomial into standard form, multiply out to get rid of the brackets, then group like items and put in descending order of powers.
`y=(12x-2)^2 +11x`
`y=144x^2 -48x +4 +11x`

`y= 144x^2 - 37x +4`
