The standard form of this equation is :
f(x)=5x2+8x+4

Explanation:

The standard form of an equation should look like :
f(x)=ax2+bx+c

First, you have to develop the right member : (x+1)(x+3)+(2x1)2

[(xx)+(x3)+(1x)+(13)]+[(2x)22(2x1)+12]
Then, we can simplified it :
[x2+3x+x+3]+[4x2+4x+1]
x2+4x+3+4x2+4x+1
5x2+8x+4

So, f(x)=5x2+8x+4
