Dividing Polynomials When dividing a polynomial by a monomial, divide each term in the polynomial by the monomial Ex.
Dividing Polynomials When dividing a polynomial by a polynomial, use long division (called division algorithm) Ex.

Synthetic Division—shortcut to long division—only use if dividing by --where a is a constant
More synthetic Division Remember if you are missing a term, you need to put in a zero for the coefficient
