$5 + 2 x^{5} - \frac{x^{3}}{7} - 8 x - 10 x^{2}$

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

Move $5$ .

$2 x^{5} - \frac{x^{3}}{7} - 8 x - 10 x^{2} + 5$

Step 3

Move $- 8 x$ .

$2 x^{5} - \frac{x^{3}}{7} - 10 x^{2} - 8 x + 5$

Step 4

Reorder terms.

$2 x^{5} - (\frac{1}{7} x^{3}) - 10 x^{2} - 8 x + 5$

Step 5

Remove parentheses.

$2 x^{5} - \frac{1}{7} x^{3} - 10 x^{2} - 8 x + 5$
