5.3 Dividing Polynomials 1 2 3 Basic Division & Division Algorithm Synthetic Division 3 Practice Problems
Basic Division Divide a Polynomial by a Monomial Divide EACH term of the polynomial by the monomial Example:
Division Algorithm (Long Division)
Another Division Algorithm Example
Synthetic Division Another process for dividing a polynomial by a binomial The denominator MUST be in the form x-r, where r is any constant For x-6, r is 6 For x+12, r is -12 as -(-12)=12 The variable must be to the first power The coefficient for the variable MUST be 1 Otherwise it must be forced to be 1
