VOCAB Old school long division terminology SOLUTION
EXAMPLE 1 Use polynomial long division Divide f (x) = 3x4 – 5x3 + 4x – 6 byx2 – 3x + 5. SOLUTION Write polynomial division in the same format you use when dividing numbers. Include a “0” as the coefficient of x2 in the dividend. At each stage, divide the term with the highest power in what is left of the dividend by the first term of the divisor. This gives the next term of the quotient.

Bring down next term. 4x3 – 15x2 + 4x Multiply divisor by4x3/x2 = 4x Subtract. Bring down next term. – 3x2 – 16x – 6 Multiply divisor by– 3x2/x2 = – 3 – 25x + 9
3x4 – 5x3 + 4x – 6 – 25x + 9 ANSWER = 3x2 + 4x – 3 + x2 – 3x + 5 x2 – 3x + 5 = 3x4 – 5x3 + 4x – 6 EXAMPLE 1 Use polynomial long division CHECK You can check the result of a division problem by multiplying the quotient by the divisor and adding the remainder. The result should be the dividend. (3x2 + 4x – 3)(x2 – 3x + 5) + (– 25x + 9) = 3x2(x2 – 3x + 5) + 4x(x2 – 3x + 5) – 3(x2 – 3x + 5) – 25x + 9 = 3x4 – 9x3 + 15x2 + 4x3 – 12x2 + 20x – 3x2 + 9x – 15 – 25x + 9
