2. Basic Division Divide a Polynomial by a Monomial
Divide EACH term of the polynomial by the monomial
Example:

3. Division Algorithm (Long Division)

4. Another Division Algorithm Example

5. Synthetic Division
Another process for dividing a polynomial by a binomial
The denominator MUST be in the form x-r, where r is any constant
For x-6, r is 6
For x+12, r is -12 as -(-12)=12
The variable must be to the first power
The coefficient for the variable MUST be 1
Otherwise it must be forced to be 1
