Write in Standard Form (-3c^4-5c^2-7c)+(4c^4+8c^3+2c^2)

$(- 3 c^{4} - 5 c^{2} - 7 c) + (4 c^{4} + 8 c^{3} + 2 c^{2})$

Step 1

To write a polynomial in standard form, simplify and then arrange the terms in descending order.

$a x^{2} + b x + c$

Step 2

Add $- 3 c^{4}$ and $4 c^{4}$ .

$c^{4} - 5 c^{2} - 7 c + 8 c^{3} + 2 c^{2}$

Step 3

Add $- 5 c^{2}$ and $2 c^{2}$ .

$c^{4} - 3 c^{2} - 7 c + 8 c^{3}$

Step 4

Reorder.

Move $- 7 c$ .

$c^{4} - 3 c^{2} + 8 c^{3} - 7 c$

Move $- 3 c^{2}$ .

$c^{4} + 8 c^{3} - 3 c^{2} - 7 c$
