Write in Standard Form -x^4+1-x/7

$- x^{4} + 1 - \frac{x}{7}$

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

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

Move $1$ .

$- x^{4} - \frac{x}{7} + 1$

Reorder terms.

$- x^{4} - (\frac{1}{7} x) + 1$

Remove parentheses.

$- x^{4} - \frac{1}{7} x + 1$
