Understanding Synthetic Division

What is the divisor in the synthetic division example discussed in the video?

• x - 3

• x - 4

• x + 3

• x + 4

In synthetic division, what is the first step after setting up the table?

• Divide the coefficients

• Drop the first coefficient below the line

• Multiply the coefficients

• Add the coefficients

What is the result of multiplying the first coefficient by the divisor's constant in the example?

• 12

• 14

• 10

• 8

What is the degree of the resulting polynomial after performing synthetic division on a 6th degree polynomial?

• 4th degree

• 5th degree

• 6th degree

• 7th degree

How does synthetic division compare to long division in terms of complexity?

• Less complex

• Not comparable

• Equally complex

• More complex
