Write in Standard Form 5x+7+1/8x^2

$5 x + 7 + \frac{1}{8} x^{2}$

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 $\frac{1}{8}$ and $x^{2}$ .

$5 x + 7 + \frac{x^{2}}{8}$

Step 3

Simplify the expression.

Move $7$ .

$5 x + \frac{x^{2}}{8} + 7$

Reorder $5 x$ and $\frac{x^{2}}{8}$ .

$\frac{x^{2}}{8} + 5 x + 7$

Step 4

Reorder terms.

$\frac{1}{8} x^{2} + 5 x + 7$
