Question

Express the product in standard form(x^2+2x-3)(x+2)

Answer 1

x³ +4x² +x -6

1) Since we have the factored form let's write it in the Standard form, performing some algebraic manipulations

(x²+2x-3)(x+2)​ Distribute the factor as FOIL

x³ +2x²+2x² +4x -3x -6 Combine like terms

x³ +4x² +x -6

2) Hence, the standard form is x³ +4x² +x -6 with the exponents from the greatest to the least.
