Synthetic Division Practice
Only the numbers are used, no variables.
Synthetic Division is used to divide a polynomial
by a binomial.
(2x2 -1x-3) ÷ (x+1)
(2x2-1x-3) ÷ (x+1)
Use -1 as the divisor
x
(2x2-1x-3) ÷ (x+1)
#
remainder
The answer
(quotient):
   2x - 3
The quotient is:
(3x3+5x2-2x-120) ÷ (x-3)
 3x3+14x2+40x
 3x2+14x+40
(3x3+5x2-2x-120) ÷ (x-3)
the quotient:
x2

remainder
Quotient:
(5x3-6x2+3x+14) ÷(x+1)
 5x2-11x+14
 5x3-11x2+14x
The degree (highest power) of the quotient
is ALWAYS one lower than the degree of the dividend
Quotient : 5x2-11x+14
(5x3-6x2+3x+14) ÷(x+1)
(x2 -3x -10)÷(x-5)
