Division of Polynomials
Division of Polynomials
2. (-4) (-2a + 3) 4. (x + 2) (x – 1)
= -4 (-2a) + (-4) (3) -x +2x – 2
= 8 – 12 +x–2
5. (a – 2) (a + 5)
= a2 + 5a – 2a – 10
= + 3a – 10
MULTIPLYING BINOMIAL TO TRINOMIAL
1. (3x-2) (4x2-6x+7)
=(3x) (4x2-6x+7) + (-2)(4x2-6x+7)
= 12x3-18x2+21x-8x2+12x-14
= 12x3-26x2+33x-14
2. (x+3) (x2+2x-5)

Laws of Exponent for Division
1. Dividing powers with same base
2. Definition of a negative exponent
3. Raising a quotient to a power
Dividing powers with same base
When dividing like base, keep the base the same and subtract
the denominator exponent from the numerator exponent
= x4
Definition of a negative exponent
For any nonzero real number a and any integer n
a-n
= x-2
=
Raising a quotient to a power
For any real number a and b, with b ≠ 0, for any integer n

Steps in Dividing a Polynomial by a Monomial
Example 2:

Steps in Dividing a Polynomial by a Binomial
y-5
y+2
- y2+2y + -y2-2y
-5y-10
+ 5y+10
0
SYNTHETIC DIVISION METHOD
y+2 = 0 -2 1 -3 -10
y = -2 + -2 10
1 -5 0
Therefore, the quotient is y-5.
Dividing a Polynomial by a Binomial using LONG DIVISION METHOD
Example 2: Divide (x2-7x+10) by ( x-5)
x-2
x-5
+
-2x+10
+ -2x+10
0
1 -2 0
a+2 = 0 -2 1 -4 2 3
y = -2 + -2 12 -28
1 -6 14 -31
Therefore, a2-6a+14 -
LONG DIVISION METHOD or SYNTHETIC DIVISION METHOD
1. x3+3x2+5x+3 by x+1
2. Divide 7x3+3x2+11-4 by x+2
3. Divide x3+2x2-5x+12 by x+4
