Write in Standard Form (x^2-5x-36)+(x+4)

$(x^{2} - 5 x - 36) + (x + 4)$

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

Add $- 5 x$ and $x$ .

$x^{2} - 4 x - 36 + 4$

Step 3

Add $- 36$ and $4$ .

$x^{2} - 4 x - 32$
