$- \frac{x^{3}}{4} + 10 x^{5} - 5$

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

Reorder $- \frac{x^{3}}{4}$ and $10 x^{5}$ .

$10 x^{5} - \frac{x^{3}}{4} - 5$

Step 3

Reorder terms.

$10 x^{5} - (\frac{1}{4} x^{3}) - 5$

Step 4

Remove parentheses.

$10 x^{5} - \frac{1}{4} x^{3} - 5$
