#-14k^4-6k^2+9k#

Explanation:

We can simplify this by removing the parenthesis:

#(5k−9k^4)−(4k+2k^4)+(8k−6k^2−3k^4)#

#5k−9k^4−4k-2k^4+8k−6k^2−3k^4#

Now, we can combine the terms with the same degree:

#-14k^4-6k^2+9k#

We can't factor this expression, so that's our final answer! Hope this helps!
