To write the polynomial \( x^{2}-4-8 x \) in standard form, we need to arrange it in descending order of the power of \( x \). This means we should place the term with the highest exponent first, followed by the next highest, and so on. First, identify the terms: - The \( x^2 \) term is the highest degree. - The \( -8x \) term comes next. - The constant term is \( -4 \). Arranging these gives us: \[ x^{2} - 8x - 4 \] So, the polynomial in standard form is \( x^{2} - 8x - 4 \).
