Hi,
Writing answers in standard form depends on what you are doing with polynomials.
If you are graphing, which is usually where this terminology is used, Standard Form is Ax + By = C, where A, B & C are integers and the leading coefficient "A" is never negative. Some instructors are ok with it being negative, but it just depends on the person.
Standard form for a quadratic equation is ax^2 + bx + c = 0, if you are solving and without 0 if you are factoring.
Hope this helps.
