  1. Any questions on the Section 5.4 homework?

  2. Please CLOSE YOUR LAPTOPS, and turn off and put away your cell phones, and get out your note-taking materials.

  3. Section 5.6 Dividing Polynomials

  4. Example Dividing a polynomial by a monomial Divide each term of the polynomial separately by the monomial. This process uses the quotient rule for exponents.

  5. Problem from today’s homework:

  6. Dividing a polynomial by a polynomial other than a monomial (i.e. one with two or more terms) uses a “long division” technique that is similar to the process known as long division in dividing two numbers. An example of this type of problem with polynomials would be dividing 6x2 + 17 x + 5 by 3x+1.

  7. Because long division (without a calculator) is kind of a lost art these days, we’ll work these two examples with numbers before we move on to dividing polynomials: 1). 3276 ÷ 9 2). 3278 ÷ 9

  8. Example 1: Long Division with integers 1). 3276 ÷ 9 3 6 4 Divide 9 into 32. (What is the biggest multiple of nine contained in 32? Multiply 3 times 9. 27 -___ Or as TA Julie says, “Draw the line and change the sign.” Subtract 27 from 32. 5 7 Bring down 7. 54 -___ Divide 9 into 57. 6 3 Multiply 9 times 6. 36 -___ Subtract 54 from 57. “Draw the line and change the sign.” Bring down 6. 0 Divide 9 into 36. Multiply 9 times 4. “Draw the line and change the sign.” Subtract 36 from 36. This last subtraction gives zero, so the answer is 364, with no remainder. 3276 ÷ 9 = 364

  9. As you can see from the previous example, there is a pattern in the long division technique. • Divide • Multiply • Subtract • Bring down • Then repeat these steps until you can’t bring down or divide any longer. • Last step: Check your answer by multiplying the answer by the divisor (see next slide for steps.) • (Always check your answer – you’ll need to know how to do this for the last quiz and test.) “Draw the line and change the sign.”

  10. 3276 ÷ 9 = 364 Question: How can you check your answer to this long division problem? Answer: So we check by multiplying the answer(364) by the number you divided by (9), and see if you come up with the number you were dividing it into (3276). Check: 364 ∙ 9 = 3276 (do this multiplication by hand)

  11. Now you try it in your notebook:Use long division (NOT YOUR CALCULATOR) to divide 771 by 3. Show all of your steps, and ask for help if you get stuck on any step. Answer: 257

  12. Example 2: Long Division with integers 2). 3278 ÷ 9 3 6 4 Divide 9 into 32. Multiply 3 times 9. 27 -___ Subtract 27 from 32. 5 7 Bring down 7. 54 -___ Divide 9 into 57. 8 3 Multiply 9 times 6. 36 -___ Subtract 54 from 57. Bring down 8. 2 Divide 9 into 38. Multiply 9 times 4. Subtract 36 from 38. Write answer as: This last subtraction leaves us with the number two, and nothing else to bring down, so the answer is 364, with a remainder of 2.

  13. 3278 ÷ 9 = 364 +2/9 Answer: Question: How can you check your answer to this long division problem? / / So we check by multiplying the answer(364) by the number you divided by (9), then add the remainder (2) to this product and see if you come up with the number you were dividing it into (3278). Check: 364 ∙ 9 + 2 = 3278 (do this multiplication by hand)

  14. Now you try it (And don’t forget to check your answer!) Divide 1639 by 7 using long division. Then check your answer. Do this in your notebook now, and make sure you ask if you have questions about any step. This will be crucial to your understanding of long division of polynomials. (ANSWER: 234 + 1/7)

  15. Now we’ll apply this long division pattern to dividing a polynomial by another polynomial with two or more terms: • Divide • Multiply • Subtract • Bring down • Then repeat these steps until you can’t bring down or divide any longer. • Last step: Check your answer by multiplying the answer by the divisor and then adding the remainder, if there is one. • (Always check your answer – you’ll need to know how to do this for the last quiz and test.) “Draw the line and change the signs.”

  16. Example with polynomials: - 35 x - 15 Divide 7x into 28x2. Multiply 4x times 7x+3. Subtract 28x2 + 12x from 28x2 – 23x. “Draw the line and change the signs.” Bring down -15. Divide 7x into –35x. Multiply -5 times 7x+3. Subtract –35x–15 from –35x–15. Nothing to bring down. So our answer is 4x – 5. Check: Multiply (7x + 3)(4x – 5) and see if you get 28x2 – 23x - 15.

  17. Now you try it (And don’t forget to check your answer!) Divide 6x2 – x – 2 by 3x – 2 using long division. Then check your answer. Do this in your notebook now, and make sure you ask if you have questions about any step. ANSWER: 2x + 1

  18. Example - - 10 10 2 2 x x + - + 2 2 x 7 4 x 6 x 8 - 20 x - - 20 x 70 + 8 2 + 14 x 4 x 78 + We write our final answer as + ( 2 x 7 ) Divide 2x into 4x2. Multiply 2x times 2x+7. Subtract 4x2 + 14x from 4x2 – 6x. “Draw the line and change the signs.” Bring down 8. Divide 2x into –20x. Multiply -10 times 2x+7. 78 Subtract –20x–70 from –20x+8. Nothing to bring down.

  19. + - + 2 2 x 7 4 x 6 x 8 How do we check this answer? Final answer: 2x – 10 + 78 . 2x - 7 How to check: Calculate (2x + 7)(2x – 10) + 78. If it comes out to 4x2 – 6x + 8, then the answer is correct.

  20. Now you try it (And don’t forget to check your answer!) Divide 15x2 + 19x – 2 by 3x + 5 using long division. Then check your answer. Do this in your notebook now, and make sure you ask if you have questions about any step. Answer: 5x – 2 + 8 . 3x + 5

  21. Problem from today’s homework:

  22. Reminders: • This homework assignment on section 5.6 is due at the start of next class period. • You should also start looking at Practice Quiz 3 before the next class period, when we’ll be reviewing for Quiz 3 on sections 5.1-5.4 & 5.6. • If you have yet to pass the Gateway Quiz and haven’t taken this week’s version yet, come in and take it during the scheduled hours this week. There are only three more weeks to go in the semester after this week.

  23. Gateway Quiz Retake Times(One new attempt allowed per week, and not much time left…) • Mondays • 10:10 am • 12:20 pm • Tuesdays • 1:25 pm • 3:35 pm • Wednesdays • 9:05 am • 10:10 am • Thursdays • 10:10 am • 2:30 pm SIGN UP IN THE MATH TLC OPEN LAB! If NONE of the above times work for you… email Krystle Mayer or Shing Lee, Math TLC Coordinators (JHSW 201), to set up a date and time.

  24. You may now OPEN your LAPTOPS and begin working on the homework assignment.
