What is the standard form of #y=(2x – 3)(x+4) #? Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Polynomials in Standard Form 1 Answer Vivek A. Jan 25, 2017 #y = 2x^2 + 5x - 12# Explanation: #y = (2x - 3)(x + 4)# We can write it as follows: #(2x - 3)(x + 4) = y# #2x(x + 4) - 3(x + 4) = y# #(2x)(x) + (2x)(4) - (3)(x) - (3)(4) = y# #2x^2 + 8x - 3x - 12 = y# #2x^2 + 5x - 12 = y#.Now, the equation is in its standard form.
