Write in Standard Form 6x-8x^4-x-5x^4

$6 x - 8 x^{4} - x - 5 x^{4}$

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

Subtract $x$ from $6 x$ .

$- 8 x^{4} + 5 x - 5 x^{4}$

Step 3

Subtract $5 x^{4}$ from $- 8 x^{4}$ .

$- 13 x^{4} + 5 x$
