question
rewrite the following polynomial in standard form.
$\frac{-x^3}{4} - 1 - 4x$
answer
attempt 1 out of 3
answer:

Explanation:

Step1: Recall standard polynomial form

Standard form arranges terms by descending powers of $x$.

Step2: Identify term degrees

Terms: $\frac{x^2}{4}$ (degree 2), $-4x$ (degree 1), $-1$ (degree 0).

Step3: Rearrange terms by degree

Place highest degree term first, then next, then constant.
$\frac{x^2}{4} - 4x - 1$

Answer:

$\frac{x^2}{4} - 4x - 1$
