$y = 2x^2 - 98$

or

$y = 2x^2 + 0x - 98$

To transform this equation to the standard form we must cross multiply each term in the right parenthesis by each term in the left parenthesis:

$y = (color(red)(2x) * color(blue)(x)) + (color(red)(2x) * color(blue)(-7)) + (color(red)(14) * color(blue)(x)) + (color(red)(14) * color(blue)(-7))$

$y = 2x^2 - 14x + 14x - 98$

We can now group like terms:

$y = 2x^2 color(green)(- 14x + 14x) - 98$

$y = 2x^2 color(green)(- 0) - 98$

$y = 2x^2 - 98$

What is the standard form of y= (2x+14)(x-7) y= (2x+14)(x-7)?
