How do I convert a polynomial into standard form?

1) Write the term with the highest exponent first

2) Write the terms with lower exponents in descending order

3) Remember that a variable with no exponent has an understood exponent of 1

4) A constant term (a number with no variable) always goes last.

 Step-By-Step Explanation:

Here is an example:

1) 6y3+4y5-2y2-6y+8y4+7

The highest exponent is the 5, so that entire term must be written first:4y5

The next highest exponent is the 4 so that term comes next. So far we have 4y5+8y4

The next highest exponent is the 3 so add that term to get

4y5 +8y4+6y3

Then comes 2. Notice that this term is negative, so don't forget to include the negative sign:

4y5 +8y4 +6y3-2y2

Remember that term has an understood exponent of 1 so it comes next. 4y5+8y4+6y3-2y2 -6y

The constant term (a number with no variable) always comes last so the final answer is:

4y5+8y4+6y3-2y2-6y+7

Hope this Helps! Tell me if I'm wrong
