5.3 Dividing Polynomials Algebra II w/ trig
I. Divide a Polynomial by a monomial: A. this expression means that each term in the numerator shares a common denominator
B. C.
II. Divide a polynomial by a polynomial, there are two ways ---long division --synthetic division A. Long Division 3248 ÷ 24 B. Two Relationships 1. 2. How would you check your answer?
C. Simplify 1.
D. Method II—Synthetic Division (a simpler process)—the divisor must be in the form of (x – r) 1. • take the divisor and solve for x x + 1 = 0 • write x = # and the coefficients of the dividend in decreasing powers of x
