In standard form y=x39x2+27x27

Explanation:

In y=(x3)3, the RHS is a polynomial of degree 3 in x.

The standard form of a polynomial in degree 3 is ax3+bx2+cx+d, so we should expend (x3)3 by multiplying.

(x3)3=(x3)(x3)2

= (x3)(x(x3)3(x3))

= (x3)(x23x3x+9)

= (x3)(x26x+9)

= x(x26x+9)3(x26x+9)

= x36x2+9x3x2+18x27

= x39x2+27x27
