$8 x^{2} - 5 + 7 x^{4} - 9 x - x^{5}$

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

Move $- 5$ .

$8 x^{2} + 7 x^{4} - 9 x - x^{5} - 5$

Step 3

Move $- 9 x$ .

$8 x^{2} + 7 x^{4} - x^{5} - 9 x - 5$

Step 4

Move $8 x^{2}$ .

$7 x^{4} - x^{5} + 8 x^{2} - 9 x - 5$

Step 5

Reorder $7 x^{4}$ and $- x^{5}$ .

$- x^{5} + 7 x^{4} + 8 x^{2} - 9 x - 5$
