Solution

The polynomial in standard form is: -1/5x^2 - 8x + 2.

Here's the step-by-step process:

  1. Identify the terms of the polynomial: 2, -8x, -x^2/5.
  2. Arrange the terms in descending order of their degree. The degree of a term is the exponent of its variable. In this case, -x^2/5 has the highest degree (2), -8x has degree 1, and 2 has degree 0 (since x^0 = 1).
  3. Write the terms in this new order: -x^2/5 - 8x + 2.
  4. Simplify the fraction if possible. In this case, it's already simplified.
  5. The result is the polynomial in standard form: -1/5x^2 - 8x + 2.
