$- 6 - \frac{x^{5}}{2} - x^{2}$

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 $- 6$ .

$- \frac{x^{5}}{2} - x^{2} - 6$

Step 3

Reorder terms.

$- (\frac{1}{2} x^{5}) - x^{2} - 6$

Step 4

Remove parentheses.

$- \frac{1}{2} x^{5} - x^{2} - 6$
