Division of Polynomials

Learning Targets:

1. perform division of
polynomials using long and
synthetic division; and
2. perform generalized
synthetic division.
Activity 1: Spot the Difference
•Look
  at each pair of expressions below. Identify the
expression which is a polynomial and which is not.
Give your reason.
1. 2x + 1 and + 1
2. + + 7 and + - 7
3. 2 and
4. - + x – 4 and - 4
5. ( x + 5) ( 9x + 1)2 ( x – 4) and
• A polynomial of degree n in x is an algebraic
expression that contains a specific number of
terms, each of which is of the form axn, where a is a
real number and n is a whole number (page 79).

Monomial - polynomial with 1 term


Binomial - polynomial with 2 terms
Trinomial - polynomial with 3 terms
• Degree of a term in a polynomial in x
- refers to the exponent of x.
 Degree of any real number, except 0, is 0.
 Zero (0) has no degree.
 Degree of a polynomial
- refers to the highest degree among the
degrees of the terms in the polynomial

Dividing Polynomials
Solutions: (5x2 - 17x - 15) ÷ (x - 4)
Solutions:
(6x3 - 16x2 + 17x - 6) ÷ (3x - 2)
Solutions:
(2x4 + x3 - 19x2 + 18x + 5) ÷ (2x - 5)
