#73x^2 - 56x + 20#

standard form means expanding the brackets and collecting like terms in descending order.

# (3x -4 )^2 + (8x - 2 )^2#

# = (3x - 4 )(3x - 4 ) + (8x - 2 )(8x - 2 )#

# = 3x(3x - 4 ) -4(3x - 4 ) + 8x(8x - 2 ) -2(8x - 2 )#

# = 9x^2 - 12x - 12x + 16 + 64x^2 - 16x -16x + 4#

# = 9x^2 + 64x^2 -12x - 12x -16x - 16x + 16 + 4#

# = 73x^2 - 56x + 20#
