Lesson 6-4: Division of Polynomials Objective: Students will divide polynomials

Dividing by a monomial Separate terms and factor each

eliminate the 1st term of Dividing by a polynomial Set up in long division 2 terms in divisor (x + 1). How does this go into 1st two terms in order to eliminate the 1st term of the dividend. 2x + 1 Multiply by the divisor Write product under dividend Subtract Carry down next term Repeat process - 2x2 + 2x - x + 5 - x + 1 - 4 Answer:

HW 67 HINTS: If a term is missing in the dividend – add a “0” term. If there is a remainder, put it over the divisor and add it to the quotient (answer) Example 1 x4 – x2 + x ÷ x2 - x + 1 HW 67
