Write in Standard Form -(x^5)/7-5+x^2

$- \frac{x^{5}}{7} - 5 + x^{2}$

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

Move $- 5$ .

$- \frac{x^{5}}{7} + x^{2} - 5$

Step 3

Reorder terms.

$- (\frac{1}{7} x^{5}) + x^{2} - 5$

Step 4

Remove parentheses.

$- \frac{1}{7} x^{5} + x^{2} - 5$
