2. Polynomial DivisionUse long division to solve:
)3()2110( 2 xxx• Write in standard
form if not already
• Put in place holders (zeros) for missing terms.
2. Polynomial Division
)23()654( 32 xxxx
Write result as: Dividend = (Quotient)(Divisor) + Remainder
More Polynomial Division

More Polynomial Division
(x 5 5x 3 10)(x 1)
3. Synthetic Division
)3()554( 23 xxxxSynthetic Division can be used ONLY when divisor is of form: x – c
Synthetic DivisionIf divisor is (x + c) use “-c” in the box

Synthetic DivisionUse synthetic division to perform the indicated operation.

4. Determine if divisor is a factorRecall the division algorithm:
RemainderDivisor QuotientDividend = x +
Is (x-3) a factor of ?
If the remainder is zero when we perform polynomial division, then the divisor is a factor
