Final answer:

The polynomial 6x² + 1 - ¼x is already in standard form, which is ax² + bx + c with descending powers of x. If there's a typo and it is supposed to be 6x² + 1 - ¼x, the corrected standard form would be 6x² - ¼x + 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

To rewrite the polynomial 6x² + 1 - ¼x in standard form, simply order the terms from the highest power of x to the lowest power of x, which the polynomial is already in. However, if there's a typo and the actual term should be 6x² + 1 - ¼x (with possibility of the last term erroneously repeated), we can write it in descending powers of x as 6x² - ¼x + 1. Standard form for polynomials is ax² + bx + c, where a, b, and c represent constants with a ≠ 0, and x represents the variable.
