Expanding (x+6)(x+3)(x-5) into Standard Form

This problem involves expanding a product of three binomials into a polynomial in standard form. Here's how to do it:

1. Multiply the first two binomials:

(x+6)(x+3) = x² + 3x + 6x + 18 = x² + 9x + 18

2. Multiply the result from step 1 with the third binomial:

(x² + 9x + 18)(x-5) = x³ - 5x² + 9x² - 45x + 18x - 90

3. Combine like terms:

x³ - 5x² + 9x² - 45x + 18x - 90 = x³ + 4x² - 27x - 90

Therefore, the standard form of the polynomial (x+6)(x+3)(x-5) is x³ + 4x² - 27x - 90.
