Write in Standard Form (6k^4)(-k^2)

$(6 k^{4}) (- k^{2})$

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

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

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$6 \cdot - 1 k^{4} k^{2}$

Multiply $k^{4}$ by $k^{2}$ by adding the exponents.

Move $k^{2}$ .

$6 \cdot - 1 (k^{2} k^{4})$

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$6 \cdot - 1 k^{2 + 4}$

Add $2$ and $4$ .

$6 \cdot - 1 k^{6}$

Multiply $6$ by $- 1$ .

$- 6 k^{6}$
