4 Vocabulary synthetic division

5 Polynomial long division is a method for dividing a polynomial by another polynomials of a lower degree. It is very similar to dividing numbers.

6 Example 1: Using Long Division to Divide a Polynomial
Divide using long division. (–y2 + 2y3 + 25) ÷ (y – 3) Step 1 Write the dividend in standard form, including terms with a coefficient of 0. 2y3 – y2 + 0y + 25 Step 2 Write division in the same way you would when dividing numbers. y – 3 2y3 – y2 + 0y + 25

7 Example 1 Continued Step 3 Divide. 2y2 + 5y + 15 Notice that y times 2y2 is 2y3. Write 2y2 above 2y3. y – 3 2y3 – y2 + 0y + 25 –(2y3 – 6y2) Multiply y – 3 by 2y2. Then subtract. Bring down the next term. Divide 5y2 by y. 5y2 + 0y –(5y2 – 15y) Multiply y – 3 by 5y. Then subtract. Bring down the next term. Divide 15y by y. 15y + 25 Multiply y – 3 by 15. Then subtract. –(15y – 45) 70 Find the remainder.

8 Example 1 Continued Step 4 Write the final answer. –y2 + 2y3 + 25 y – 3 = 2y2 + 5y 70 y – 3

9 Check It Out! Example 1a Divide using long division. (15x2 + 8x – 12) ÷ (3x + 1) Step 1 Write the dividend in standard form, including terms with a coefficient of 0. 15x2 + 8x – 12 Step 2 Write division in the same way you would when dividing numbers. 3x x2 + 8x – 12

10 Check It Out! Example 1a Continued
Step 3 Divide. 5x + 1 Notice that 3x times 5x is 15x2. Write 5x above 15x2. 3x x2 + 8x – 12 –(15x2 + 5x) Multiply 3x + 1 by 5x. Then subtract. Bring down the next term. Divide 3x by 3x. 3x – 12 –(3x + 1) Multiply 3x + 1 by 1. Then subtract. –13 Find the remainder.

11 Check It Out! Example 1a Continued
Step 4 Write the final answer. 15x2 + 8x – 12 3x + 1 = 5x + 1 – 13 3x + 1

12 Check It Out! Example 1b Divide using long division. (x2 + 5x – 28) ÷ (x – 3) Step 1 Write the dividend in standard form, including terms with a coefficient of 0. x2 + 5x – 28 Step 2 Write division in the same way you would when dividing numbers. x – 3 x2 + 5x – 28

13 Check It Out! Example 1b Continued
Step 3 Divide. x + 8 Notice that x times x is x2. Write x above x2. x – 3 x2 + 5x – 28 –(x2 – 3x) Multiply x – 3 by x. Then subtract. Bring down the next term. Divide 8x by x. 8x – 28 –(8x – 24) Multiply x – 3 by 8. Then subtract. –4 Find the remainder.

14 Check It Out! Example 1b Continued
Step 4 Write the final answer. x2 + 5x – 28 x – 3 = x + 8 – 4 x – 3

15 Synthetic division is a shorthand method of dividing a polynomial by a linear binomial by using only the coefficients. For synthetic division to work, the polynomial must be written in standard form, using 0 and a coefficient for any missing terms, and the divisor must be in the form (x – a).

26 You can use synthetic division to evaluate polynomials
You can use synthetic division to evaluate polynomials. This process is called synthetic substitution. The process of synthetic substitution is exactly the same as the process of synthetic division, but the final answer is interpreted differently, as described by the Remainder Theorem.
