Question

Write the following quadratic expression in standard form: ( 2 x − 1 ) ( 3 x − 1 )

Answer 1

6
`x^(2)` - 5
`x` + 1

Explanation:

Standard form is:
`ax^(2) +bx+x`

To reach that you have to distribute:

(2x - 1) (3x - 1)

2x (3x - 1) = 6
`x^(2)` - 2
`x`

-1 (3x - 1) = -3
`x` + 1

Combine like terms:

6
`x^(2)` - 5
`x` + 1
