It’s just Division! • The polynomial we divide with is called The Dividend • The polynomial we divide by is called The Divisor • The answer is called The Quotient
Let’s start Let’s divide x2 + 4x + 4 by x + 2 : x2 + 4x + 4 x + 2
How to fill in as to start? First, write the dividend inside. Next, write the divisor outside. Then, divide and the Quotient will be up. Quotient Divisor Dividend
Now Divide ... x x2 + 4x + 4 x + 2 You divide the first monomial from the Dividend by the first monomial from the Divisor. You write the answer in the Quotient’s place. x2 ÷ x = x
Multiply the answer x by the Divisor x x2 + 4x + 4 x+ 2 x2 + 2x Write the answer under the dividend and subtract it from the dividend. 0 + 2x + 4
Not finished, continue the Division x + 2 x + 2 x2 + 4x + 4 x2 + 2x 2x+ 4 Repeat the same steps… Divide2xby x 2x ÷ x = 2
Finish it! x + 2 x2 + 4x + 4 x+ 2 -x2 - 2x 2x + 4 Multiply 2 by the divisor. 2x + 4 0 Subtract and answer.
Finally… x2 + 4x + 4 = x + 2 x + 2 Done by: George Saad mr_ge_or_ge@hotmail.com
