Write in Standard Form -x^4+1-1/10x^2

$- x^{4} + 1 - \frac{1}{10} x^{2}$

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

Combine $x^{2}$ and $\frac{1}{10}$ .

$- x^{4} + 1 - \frac{x^{2}}{10}$

Step 3

Move $1$ .

$- x^{4} - \frac{x^{2}}{10} + 1$

Step 4

Reorder terms.

$- x^{4} - (\frac{1}{10} x^{2}) + 1$

Step 5

Remove parentheses.

$- x^{4} - \frac{1}{10} x^{2} + 1$
