Dividing Polynomials
Warm Up
• Without a calculator,
divide the following
23
113
277
3
Solution: 49251
This long division technique can also be
used to divide polynomials
POLYNOMIALS – DIVIDING
EX – Long division
• (5x³ -13x² +10x -8) / (x-2)
5x² - 3x + 4 R0
x-2 5x³ - 13x² + 10x - 8
- ( 5x³ - 10x²)
-3x² + 10x
- ( -3x² + 6x)
4x -8
- ( 4x - 8 )
0
So in other words…
5x³ -13x² +10x - 8 = 5x² -3x + 4
x-2
OR
(5x² -3x + 4)(x-2) = 5x³ -13x² +10x - 8
POLYNOMIALS – DIVIDING
EX#2 – Long division
• (x² +3x -12) / (x+6)
x + R6
6
x-3 x² +
3x -
12
- ( x² -- 3x
( 6x) - 18 )
6x 6
-12
Let’s Try One
• (2x² -19x + 8) / (x-8)
x-8 2x² - 19x + 8
Let’s Try One
• (2x² -19x + 8) / (x-8)
x-8 2x² - 19x + 8
EX – Synthetic division
Opposite (5x³ -13x² +10x -8) / (x-2)
of number in
divisor
2 5 -13 10 -8
10 -6 8
5 -3 4 0
5x² -3x + 4
EX – Synthetic division
Opposite (3x³ -4x² +2x -1) / (x+1)
of number in
divisor
-1 3 -4 2 -1
-3 +7 -9
3 -7 9 -10
3x2 -7x + R-10
9
Let’s Try One
(x³ -13x +12) / (x+4)
EX – Synthetic division
Opposite (x³ -13x +12) / (x+4)
of number in
divisor
A Couple of Notes
• Use synthetic division when the coefficient in
front of x is 1
(x- 2) x 2 2x (2x-3) x 2 2x
1 1
YES NO
•To test so see if a binomial is a factor, you want
to see if you get a remainder of zero. If yes, it is a
factor. If you get a remainder, the answer is no.
From this example, x-8 IS a factor
because the remainder is zero
• (2x² -19x + 8) / (x-8)
x-8 2x² - 19x + 8
In this case, x-3 is not a factor because
there was a remainder of 6
x + R6
6
x-3 x² +
3x -
12
- ( x² -- 3x
( 6x) - 18 )
6x 6
-12
