Write in Standard Form 3x^2-5x-4+x^3

$3 x^{2} - 5 x - 4 + x^{3}$

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

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

Move $- 4$ .

$3 x^{2} - 5 x + x^{3} - 4$

Move $- 5 x$ .

$3 x^{2} + x^{3} - 5 x - 4$

Reorder $3 x^{2}$ and $x^{3}$ .

$x^{3} + 3 x^{2} - 5 x - 4$
