Write in Standard Form -8-5x^3+4x^5-4x-6

$- 8 - 5 x^{3} + 4 x^{5} - 4 x - 6$

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

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

Subtract $6$ from $- 8$ .

$- 5 x^{3} + 4 x^{5} - 4 x - 14$

Reorder $- 5 x^{3}$ and $4 x^{5}$ .

$4 x^{5} - 5 x^{3} - 4 x - 14$
