$2x^3+13x^2+20x+16$

We need to expand a bunch:

$(x+2)^2 = x^2 + 4x+4$

$(x+4)^2=x^2 + 8x + 16$

Substituting these:

$3x(x^2 + 4x+4)-x^3+x^2 + 8x + 16$

distributing:

$3x^3 + 12x^2+12x-x^3+x^2 + 8x + 16$

collecting like terms:

$2x^3+13x^2+20x+16$

What is the standard form of y= 3x(x+2)^2-x^3+(x+4)^2 y= 3x(x+2)^2-x^3+(x+4)^2 ?
