y = −6 − √−x + 37

The final answer is the combination of both solutions.


y = −6 + √−x + 37

y = −6 − √−x + 37

To write a polynomial in standard form, simplify and then arrange the terms in descending order.
2
y = ax + bx + c

The standard form is −6 + √−x + 37, −6 − √−x + 37.


y = −6 + √−x + 37

y = −6 − √−x + 37
