y=63x^3-148x^2+50x+8y=63x3148x2+50x+8

Explanation:

The standard form refers to the format of an expression where the terms are arranged in a descending order. The degree is determined by the exponent value of the variable of each term.

To find the standard form, multiply the brackets out and simplify.

y=(9x-2)(x+2)(7x-4)y=(9x2)(x+2)(7x4)

Lets multiply out y=(9x-2)(x+2)y=(9x2)(x+2) first:

y=(9x-2)(x+2)y=(9x2)(x+2)
y=9x^2+18x-2x-2y=9x2+18x2x2
y=9x^2-16x-2y=9x216x2

Then multiply y=(9x^2-16x-2)(7x-4)y=(9x216x2)(7x4):

y=(9x^2-16x-2)(7x-4)y=(9x216x2)(7x4)
y=63x^3-36x^2-112x^2+64x-14x+8y=63x336x2112x2+64x14x+8
y=63x^3-148x^2+50x+8y=63x3148x2+50x+8

This is the standard form.
