#y=-64x^3+167x^2-312x-80#

Explanation:

The standard form of a cubic function is :

#y=ax^3+bx^2+cx+d#

Therefore after expanding

#(-4x-4)^3 #

= #-64x^3+192x^2-192x+64#

and

#(5x+12)^2 #

= #25x^2+120x+144#

We can join the 2 expressions

#y=(-64x^3+192x^2-192x+64) - (25x^2+120x+144)#

#y=-64x^3+167x^2-312x-80#
