Algebra 90 - Dividing Polynomials

This video tutorial covers polynomial division, explaining its relationship to multiplication and how it can be used to factor polynomials. It reviews long division with integers and applies similar methods to polynomials, demonstrating how to handle remainders and special cases. The tutorial also introduces the concept of rational expressions and functions.

What is the difference between a polynomial and a rational expression?

What does it mean if the degree of the divisor is greater than the degree of the dividend?

Why is it necessary to add temporary terms with zero coefficients in polynomial long division?

How can polynomial division be used to test for possible factors of a polynomial?
