$y=2x^2-x-3$

Given:

$y=(-2x+3)(-x-1)$

The standard form for a quadratic equation is:

$y=ax^2+bx+c$

To convert the given equation to standard form, multiply the two binomials using the FOIL method.

$y=(-2x*-x)+(-2x*-1)+(3*-x)+(3*-1)$

$y=2x^2+2x-3x-3$

Combine like terms.

$y=2x^2-x-3$

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