2# Long Division Polynomials
Teaching note Show video Long Division vs. Synthetic Division Show students what they are working towards
Common Core objectives: * Students will be able to use long division to divide polynomials by other polynomials. Use synthetic division to divide polynomials by binomials of the form (x – k). Use the Remainder Theorem and the Factor Theorem. * Teacher will instruct students to learn about the process of division. Learn about a couple of theorems to help in factoring and solving higher level polynomials
