Division of Polynomials Exercises

The document provides exercises on dividing polynomials. It asks students to: 1) Divide various polynomials using long division and specify the quotient and remainder. 2) Use long division to rewrite polynomials in the form of a dividend (p(x)) equal to a quotient (q(x)) multiplied by the divisor plus any remainder (r(x)). 3) Identify concepts such as if the remainder of dividing a polynomial by a binomial is zero, the binomial is a factor of the polynomial. If a polynomial of degree n is divided by a binomial of degree 1, the degree of the quotient will be n-1.
