Question

What is the standard form of # y=x^3(9x^2-x-3) #?

Answer 1

`9x^5-x^4-3x^3`

Explanation:

Let's start by distributing the `x^3` to all terms. Remember, when we multiply exponents, we add the powers. We get

`9x^5-x^4-3x^3`

Since our exponents are in order of descending degree, we are in standard form!

Hope this helps!
