Standard form simply refers to the format of a mathematical expression where the terms are arranged by decreasing order of degree. Where the degree is determined by the exponent value of the variable of each term.

For the example provided -16 +5f^8-7f^3−16+5f8−7f3
The highest degree is 8 in the term 5f^85f8
The next degree is 3 in the term -7f^3−7f3
and the -16−16 term has a degree of zero because there is no variable.

Therefore the standard form for this expression would be
5f^8-7f^3-165f8−7f3−16
