5.3 Division of Polynomials Concepts 1, 2, 3
5.3.1 Division by a Monomial • Example:
What if you are dividing by a polynomial? • The last method we did won’t work. • There are three ways to do this: • LONG DIVISION • SYNTHETIC DIVISION • FACTORING (we will cover next week)
5.3.2 Long Division • Number example • How do we divide 867 by four using long division? • Similar when using polynomials?
Divide the polynomial using long division. CHECK: (divisor)(quotient)+(remainder) = what was divided
5.3.3 Synthetic Division • It is a shortcut way of doing long division. • Only works when divided by something in the form x – c • Set-up: • Degree is always one less than the original
