Division of Polynomials

1. The document discusses the process of dividing polynomials. It explains that polynomials should be written with the terms in descending order of exponents. 2. The steps for polynomial division are: rewrite the polynomials with a division symbol, divide the first term of the numerator by the first term of the denominator and write the answer above, multiply the denominator by the answer and subtract from the numerator. 3. These steps of dividing, multiplying, and subtracting are repeated until the remainder can no longer be divided by the denominator. The final quotient and remainder are then written out. Examples are provided to demonstrate the process.

DIVISION OF
POLYNOMIALS

NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR

➜ Numerator – dividend
➜ Denominator – divisor
3

PROCESS AND STEPS:

1.➜Both
  polynomials should have the “higher order” terms first
(those with the largest exponents).
Example: Wrong arrangement
Correct arrangement

2. Rewrite the polynomials with a division symbol


4

PROCESS AND STEPS:

3. Divide the first term of the numerator by the first term of the
denominator and write the answer above the division symbol.

4. Multiply the denominator by that answer, write the value below


the numerator.
5

PROCESS AND STEPS:

5. Subtract to create a new polynomial


6

PROCESS AND STEPS:

6. Repeat Step 3 to Step 5 until you can no longer divide.

We can’t divide 1 by x – 2, so we stop and write 1 as the remainder


7

PROCESS AND STEPS:

7.➜Write
  the answer in the following format:

Formula for writing answer:

If the remainder is 0, it’s okay not to write it.

“MISSING TERMS”
➜➜There
  can be missing terms (There’s but no )
➜ If there’s a missing term, write the missing term with a coefficient
of zero.
➜ Then, you can follow the usual steps for division.
