SFM Productions Presents: Another saga in your continuing Pre-Calculus experience! 2.3 Polynomial and Synthetic Division
Homework for section 2.3 p156 #13-45 eoo, 55-73 odd
And because 2 is a zero, (x-2) is a factor… Presto: Long Division
The Division Algorithm divisor remainder dividend quotient
Try: Product of linear and quadratic factors Product of linear factors…
Synthetic Division: only works if dividing by something that has the form of x- k You have to be dividing by a linear term. In Synthetic Division, all you use is the coefficients.
Try: -3 1 0 -10 -2 4 -3 3 -3 9 1 -3 -1 1 1 1 • -3 -3 • -3 -1 • -3 1 • -3
-3 1 0 -10 -2 4 -3 3 -3 9 1 -3 -1 1 1 Original equation (dividend) Depressed equation (quotient) divisor remainder
The Remainder Theorem An easy way to do find the f of something is to do the synthetic division in your head…
