Write in Standard Form 5x+1/10x^2-2

$5 x + \frac{1}{10} x^{2} - 2$

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

Combine $\frac{1}{10}$ and $x^{2}$ .

$5 x + \frac{x^{2}}{10} - 2$

Step 3

Reorder $5 x$ and $\frac{x^{2}}{10}$ .

$\frac{x^{2}}{10} + 5 x - 2$

Step 4

Reorder terms.

$\frac{1}{10} x^{2} + 5 x - 2$
