Write in Standard Form x^2=16

$x^{2} = 16$

Step 1

Subtract $16$ from both sides of the equation.

$x^{2} - 16 = 0$

Step 2

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

$a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$

Step 3

The standard form is $x^{2} - 16$ .

$x^{2} - 16 = 0$

Step 4
