To add the polynomials \( (4x^2 - x + 5) + (5x^2 + x + 9) \), we combine like terms.

  1. Combine the \( x^2 \) terms: \[ 4x^2 + 5x^2 = 9x^2 \]

  2. Combine the \( x \) terms: \[ -x + x = 0x \quad (\text{which simplifies to } 0) \]

  3. Combine the constant terms: \[ 5 + 9 = 14 \]

Now, putting it all together, we have: \[ 9x^2 + 0x + 14 \]

The polynomial in standard form is: \[ \boxed{9x^2 + 14} \]
