1. Warmup

2. 5-2 Dividing Polynomials
Long division
Synthetic Division if appropriate

3. You can use the skills you developed dividing monomials to extend to a polynomial being divided by a monomial.
For example:
6 𝑥 4 𝑦 𝑥 3 𝑦 2 −18 𝑥 2 𝑦 3𝑥𝑦

4. Dividing Polynomials 
You can divide polynomials with long division if
The polynomial that is being divided (dividend) is of equal or higher degree than what is doing the dividing (divisor).
The terms in both the divisor and dividend must be in descending order of power, and a coefficient of 0 must be included for any term that is missing, including constants.
Recall 4th grade long division:

8. You can use synthetic division to divide a polynomial by a binomial in the form x − r. The terms in both the divisor and dividend must be in descending order of power, and a coefficient of 0 must be included for any term that is missing.
