 Divide a polynomial by a binomial  The polynomial must be in standard form  Be sure to add zeros when needed for missing placeholders  The divisor must be a linear binomial with a leading coefficient of 1 and in the form x + k 11

12 f(x) = x 3 + 2x 2 – 3x – 6 ; x + 2 is a factor x = times Now solve x 2 – 3 = 0 to find the remaining zeros

13 f(x) = 6x 3 – 19x x – 4 ; x – 2 is a factor. X = times Now solve 6x 2 – 7x + 2 = 0 +++
