$- \frac{x^{4}}{6} + x^{2} - 9 x^{3} - 1$

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 $x^{2}$ .

$- \frac{x^{4}}{6} - 9 x^{3} + x^{2} - 1$

Step 3

Reorder terms.

$- (\frac{1}{6} x^{4}) - 9 x^{3} + x^{2} - 1$

Step 4

Remove parentheses.

$- \frac{1}{6} x^{4} - 9 x^{3} + x^{2} - 1$
