Final answer:

To put the polynomial y⁵ + 4xy² - 2 in standard form, arrange the terms in descending order of degree and combine like terms if any.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial is in standard form when the degree of each term is in descending order and there are no like terms to combine. To put the polynomial y⁵ + 4xy² - 2 in standard form:

  1. Arrange the terms in descending order of degree: y⁵ + 4xy² - 2.
  2. Combine like terms, if any. In this case, there are no like terms to combine.

Therefore, the polynomial y⁵ + 4xy² - 2 is already in standard form.
