$\frac{8}{7} x^{3} + x^{4} + 6 x + 1$

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

Combine $\frac{8}{7}$ and $x^{3}$ .

$\frac{8 x^{3}}{7} + x^{4} + 6 x + 1$

Step 3

Reorder $\frac{8 x^{3}}{7}$ and $x^{4}$ .

$x^{4} + \frac{8 x^{3}}{7} + 6 x + 1$

Step 4

Reorder terms.

$x^{4} + \frac{8}{7} x^{3} + 6 x + 1$
