f(x)=-x^2-2x-1f(x)=x22x1

Explanation:

To rewrite the function in standard form, expand the brackets:

f(x)=8(x+1)^2-(3x+3)^2f(x)=8(x+1)2(3x+3)2

f(x)=8(x+1)(x+1)-(3x+3)(3x+3)f(x)=8(x+1)(x+1)(3x+3)(3x+3)

f(x)=8(x^2+2x+1)-(9x^2+18x+9)f(x)=8(x2+2x+1)(9x2+18x+9)

f(x)=8x^2+16x+8-9x^2-18x-9f(x)=8x2+16x+89x218x9

f(x)=8x^2-9x^2+16x-18x+8-9f(x)=8x29x2+16x18x+89

f(x)=-x^2-2x-1f(x)=x22x1
