"Regular form"?

You have p(x) in its factored form. You can perform the multiplications to get the product, simplify and then arrange into general form, with decreasing degrees of x. You would want to do the squarings first, and then use a lattice method to do the further multiplications. This is a way to keep all the partial multiplications straight. The process cannot be rushed.
