Answer:
[tex]-2x^2 + 8x - 8[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To make [tex]-4 - x^2 + 4x - 4 - x^2 + 4x[/tex] into standard form, we want to combine like terms to get a simplified expression.
In standard form, the highest exponent term always comes first, which here is the [tex]x^2[/tex] term.
[tex]-x^2 - x^2 = -2x^2[/tex]
Next comes the b term (bx).
[tex]4x + 4x = 8x[/tex]
Then comes the constant (c).
[tex]-4 - 4 = -8[/tex]
So in total we have [tex]-2x^2 + 8x - 8[/tex].
Hope this helped!
