$12 x^{3} + 5 x^{6} + 4 x^{5} - 2 x^{8}$

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 $12 x^{3}$ .

$5 x^{6} + 4 x^{5} - 2 x^{8} + 12 x^{3}$

Step 3

Move $4 x^{5}$ .

$5 x^{6} - 2 x^{8} + 4 x^{5} + 12 x^{3}$

Step 4

Reorder $5 x^{6}$ and $- 2 x^{8}$ .

$- 2 x^{8} + 5 x^{6} + 4 x^{5} + 12 x^{3}$
