#y=-x^3-x^2-7x#

Explanation:

A general polynomial is in standard form when its terms are arranged in decrease degrees.

#{: (,(-x+1)^3, =, ,-x^3,+3x^2,-3x,+1), (-,(2x-1)^2,=,-,,4x^2,-4x,+1), ("---","----------","----","----","----","----","----","----"), (,,,,-x^3,-x^2,-7x,) :}#

#(-x^3)# is of degree #3#
#(-x^2)# is of degree #2#
#(-7x)# is of degree #1#
So this arrangement is in standard form
