1 Long & Synthetic Division

2 1st write as a division problem.

3 Correct x2 What would you multiply x by to get x3 ?

4 Multiply x2 by (x-7) and write under dividend
Then subtract by adding the opposite

5 Correct 5x What would you multiply x by to get 5x2 ?

6 Multiply 5x by (x-7) and write under the previous difference
Then subtract by adding the opposite

7 Correct 40 What would you multiply x by to get 40x?

8 Multiply 40 by (x-7) and write under the previous difference
Then subtract by adding the opposite

9 This is the remainder

12 Show x-3 is a factor of then rewrite with x-3 times the quotient
Because the remainder is zero x-3 is a factor

13 Show x-5 is a factor of then rewrite with x-5 times the quotient
Because the remainder is zero x-5 is a factor

14 P343 1 – 13 odd Divide using long division. Write your answer as

15 Write the coefficients of the numerator adding any place holders
Use Synthetic Division to do the long division problem Write the opposite of the constant term 1 7 35 280 5 40 284 Write the coefficients of the numerator adding any place holders Multiply by 7 Add Drop the Coefficient Down Synthetic Division only works when the denominator is x-a where a is a constant

16 Synthetic Division 7 35 280 1 5 40 284 The quotient will always be degree 1 less than the degree of the numerator

17 Synthetic Division Write the opposite of the constant term 7 35 280 284 1 5 40 These are the coefficients of the quotient This is the remainder

18 Use Synthetic Division to divide

20 Remainder Theorem: Let f be a polynomial function
Remainder Theorem: Let f be a polynomial function. If f(x) is divided by x-c, then the remainder is f(c) If you divide a polynomial function synthetically by a number the remainder is the value that would result if you plugged that number in the equation for x These two numbers will always be the same

21 = -305 Use synthetic division to find

22 Factor Therorem:Let f be a polynomial function
Factor Therorem:Let f be a polynomial function. Then x-c is a factor of f(x) if and only if f(c)=0 Since f(5)=0 then synthetically dividing by 5 will give a remainder of 0 and x-5 has to be a factor of f(x)

23 Is x-3 is a factor of : If (x-3) is a factor of g(x) when we divide it into g(x) it will have no remainder. So we can write g(x) as What does g(3)=

24 Show x+1 is a factor of g(x) then write g(x) as the product of x+1 and the quotient
-1 4 -4 What does g(-1)=

25 Write answers in the form
