To write the given equation \( 4x^2 + 8 = -5x \) in standard form, we need to rearrange the equation so that one side equals zero.
Starting with the original equation:
\[ 4x^2 + 8 = -5x \]
We can add \( 5x \) to both sides to move everything to one side of the equation:
\[ 4x^2 + 5x + 8 = 0 \]
Now, the equation is in standard form, which is:
\[ 4x^2 + 5x + 8 = 0 \]
