Question

What is the standard form of `y= (-x+1)(-3x-2)(6x-1)`?

Answer 1

`y=18x^3-9x^2-11x+2`

Explanation:

The given seems like the factored form
`y=(-x+1)(-3x-2)(6x-1)`

For what I know, standard form is that kind of arrangement of the terms from highest degree to the lowest degree term after multiplying all these factors.

`y=(-x+1)(-3x-2)(6x-1)`

multiply the first two factors
`y=(3x^2+2x-3x-2)(6x-1)`
simplify by combining similar terms
`y=(3x^2-x-2)(6x-1)`
multiply the remaining factors
`y=18x^3-6x^2-12x-3x^2+x+2`
simplify again to obtain the final answer. Make sure the terms are arranged from highest to lowest degree
`y=18x^3-9x^2-11x+2`

God bless....I hope the explanation is useful.
