Dividing polynomials using synthetic division with missing a term

The video tutorial explains synthetic division, a method for dividing polynomials. It covers the prerequisites, such as having the divisor in the form X - K, and setting up the polynomial with coefficients for each term. The process involves a simple algorithm of multiplying and adding coefficients. The tutorial also discusses interpreting the results and the limitations of synthetic division, noting that it only works with certain polynomial forms.
