Question

Express the product of 2x^2+7x-10 and x+5 in standard form

Answer 1

2x³+17x²+25x-50

Explanation:

Standard Form: All your numbers and variables in order of the highest exponent.

(2x²+7x-10)(x+5)

We want to distribute x and 5 to every single value.

2x³+7x²-10x+10x²+35x-50

Simplify.

2x³+17x²+25x-50

This is standard form because the highest values are on the left (x³ is larger than x²).
