A POLYNOMIAL is in STANDARD FORM if its terms are arranged from the term with the highest degree,
up to the term with the lowest degree.

Where P (x) is the dividend, d (x) ≠ 0 is the divisor, Q (x) is the quotient, and r (x) is the remainder.
✓ a shortcut method for polynomial division which can be used in place of the standard long division.
✓ uses only the numerical coefficients of the terms of the dividend and the divisor, and multiplication
and addition as the means of operation.
✓ The degree of the quotient is one less than the degree of the dividend
