y=x^3-5x^2+13x+4y=x35x2+13x+4

Explanation:

Expand each polynomial through distribution.

y=(x^2+2x+2x+4)+x(x^2-3x-3x+9)y=(x2+2x+2x+4)+x(x23x3x+9)

y=(x^2+4x+4)+x(x^2-6x+9)y=(x2+4x+4)+x(x26x+9)

y=x^2+4x+4+x^3-6x^2+9xy=x2+4x+4+x36x2+9x

y=x^3+(x^2-6x^2)+(4x+9x)+4y=x3+(x26x2)+(4x+9x)+4

y=x^3-5x^2+13x+4y=x35x2+13x+4

This is in standard form since the terms' exponents are listed in descending order.
