The Division Algorithm f(x) = d(x)g(x) + r(x) (6x 3 + 4x 2 – 10x – 5) = (3x + 2)(2x 2 + 1) +(-13x – 7) = 6x 3 + 4x 2 + 3x + 2 – 13x – 7 = 6x 3 + 4x 2 - 10x – 5 WE can use the division Algorithm to find G.C.D. (greatest common divisors )
14
What is the G.C.D. of 3461, 4879 4879 = 3461(1) + 1418 3461 = 1418(2) + 625 1418 = 625(2) + 168 625 = 168(3) + 121 168 = 121(1) + 47 121 = 47(2) + 27 47 = 27(1) + 20 27 = 20(1) + 7 20 = 7(2) + 6 7 = 6(1) + 1← G.C.D. 6 = 1(6) + 0

Ruffini’s rule3 or Synthetic Division Paolo Ruffini (September 22, 1765 – May 10, 1822) was an Italian mathematician and philosopher. Italianmathematician philosopher By 1788 he had earned university degrees in philosophy, medicine/surgery, and mathematics. Among his work was an incomplete proof (Abel–Ruffini theorem1) that quintic (and higher-order) equations cannot be solved by radicals (1799), and Ruffini's rule3 which is a quick method for polynomial division.Abel–Ruffini theorem1 quintic (and higher-order) equations radicalsRuffini's rule3polynomial division

Synthetic Division Can be used when dividing by x – r term, where r is a number. (4x 3 + 5x 2 + 8)÷(x – 2)What is x; x – 2 = 0 x = 2 This will go in the little box in the first line.

Synthetic Division Can be used when dividing by x – r term, where r is a number. (4x 3 + 5x 2 + 8)÷(x – 2)What is x; x – 2 = 0 2 |4508 The coefficients are written out in descending exponential order. (even leaving a zero for the 1 st degree term)

The Remainder Theorem The remainder is the answer! So in f(x) = 4x 3 + 5x 2 + 8 f(2) = 60
24
The Remainder Theorem The remainder is the answer! So in f(x) = 4x 3 + 5x 2 + 8 f(2) = 60 Check it out: 4(2) 3 + 5(2) 2 + 8 4(8) + 5(4) + 8 32 + 20 + 8 = 60
25
(x 2 + 3x – 40) ÷ (x - 5) 5| 1 3 - 40 5 40 1 8 0 Since the reminder is 0, 5 is a root or zero of the equation. What is the other root?
