The standard form for a quadratic is
color(white)("XXX")y=ax^2+bx+c
(with constants a, b, c)
The given form: y=(5x+2)(6x+8)
can easily be converted to this standard form by multiplying the factors on the right side.
There are several ways that the multiplication can be done:
Using the Distributive Property
(5x+2)(6x+8)
color(white)("XXX")=5x(6x+8)+2(6x+8)
color(white)("XXX")=(30x^2+40x)+(12x+16)
(then combining like terms:)
color(white)("XXX")30x^2+52x+16

(color(red)("Multiply"),,),
("First terms:", 5x xx 6x, = 30x^2),
("Outside terms:", 5x xx 8, =40x),
("Inside terms:",2 xx 6x, = 12x),

(color(red)("Add"),,),
