Using synthetic division to divide two polynomials

The video tutorial explains polynomial division, starting with setting the divisor to zero. It covers arranging the dividend and divisor, identifying coefficients, and performing the division step-by-step. The tutorial also discusses interpreting the remainder and writing the result, including handling non-zero remainders.

What is the first step in polynomial division according to the video?

• Arrange the dividend in ascending order

• Set the divisor equal to zero

• Multiply the coefficients

• Add the remainder to the divisor

When arranging the dividend, how should the terms be ordered?

• In descending order

• In alphabetical order

• In random order

• In ascending order

What do you do with the first coefficient in the division process?

• Add it to the remainder

• Multiply it by the divisor

• Subtract it from the constant

• Bring it down as a freebie

How should the final result be written if there is no remainder?

• Multiply the remainder by the constant

• Add the remainder to the divisor

• Exclude the remainder

• Include the remainder as zero

If there is a remainder, what should be done with it?

• Add it to the dividend

• Multiply it by the divisor

• Divide it by the divisor

• Ignore it
