Q1 Mathematics 10 Module 4

This document discusses polynomial functions and equations, specifically synthetic division. It defines polynomials as algebraic expressions involving variables and coefficients. Polynomials are categorized based on their degree, or highest exponent. Synthetic division is introduced as a method for dividing one polynomial by another when the divisor is of the form x - a. Examples are provided to demonstrate synthetic division and dividing polynomials. Students are given practice problems to divide polynomials using synthetic division.

Polynomial Functions and Equations (Synthetic Division)

Polynomial
A Polynomial in one variable is an algebraic expression of the form a1xn-1 + a2xn-1 + a2xn-2 + … + a2x2 +
a1x + a0, where a1, a2, a3, … a1, a0 are real numbers, and n is non-negative integer. a1xn is the leading
term of polynomial
GATEWAY INTEGRATED SCHOOL
OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY GEN. TRIAS CAMPUS Since n is non-negative, n can be 0,1,2,3, … the leading term determines the degree of the polynomial.
Sitio Tinungan Brgy. Manggahan Gen. Trias City Cavite The following are polynomials.
1. 5 - Degree 0 Note:
2. 3x + 2 - Degree 1 The degree of polynomial is the
3. x2 – 10x + 7 - Degree 2
Junior High School Department 4. 2x2 – 5 - Degree 2
degree of the leading term, or the
greatest exponent of the variable
5. 4x3 + 2x – 1 - Degree 3

Module 4 In terms of their degree, polynomials are categories as follows.


1. 5 is 0 – degree polynomial and is a constant
MATHEMATICS 10 2. 3x + 2 is a first-degree polynomial and is called linear polynomial
3. x2 – 10 + 7 and 2x2 – 5 are second-degree polynomials and are called quadratic polynomials
4. 4x3 + 2x – 1 is a third-degree polynomial or a cubic polynomial.
5. Higher degree polynomials may be called nth degree polynomials

Division of Polynomials
Division of a polynomial by a monomial has been learned. “Synthetic Division”
9 x 3 – 15 x 2 – 12 x
= 3 x2 –5 x – 4 This method can be applied if the divisor is a binomial of the form x – a
3x

Example 1 Find the quotient of ( x 3−3 x 2−8 x +4 ) ÷( x+ 2)


Divide x 3 – 3 x 2 – 8 x + 4 by x +2 Since the form of the divisor should be x – a, then x + 2 is x – (-2), in which case, a = -2.
Write the coefficients in the decreasing order of exponents

The quotient is degree lower than the dividend


Quotient: x 2−5 x+ 2
The last number represents the remainder. In this case there is no remainder.

Divide ( x 3−27 ) ÷ ( x−3)


Example 2
Divide x 3 – 27 by x−2

Divide 2 x5 +7 x +21 by x +2

The quotient is degree lower than the dividend


Lesson Check up The last number represents the remainder. The remainder is -57.
Use long division to divide: Just add the remainder (including the sign) over the divisor on the last part of the quotient.
