Dividing using Synthetic Division
Objective: Use synthetic division to find the quotient of certain polynomials
Algorithm
A systematic procedure for doing certain computations.
The Division Algorithm used in section 6.4 can be shortened if the divisor is a linear polynomial

40. Part 1
Dividing using Synthetic Division
EXAMPLE 1
To see how synthetic division works, we will use long division to divide the polynomial by

41. Dividing Polynomials Using Synthetic Division

42. - 3 1 6 8 -2 - 3 - 9 3 1 x2 + x 3 - 1 1 1 Synthetic Division
There is a shortcut for long division as long as the divisor is x – k where k is some number. (Can't have any powers on x).
Set divisor = 0 and solve. Put answer here.
x + 3 = 0 so x = - 3 1
- 3
Multiply these and put answer above line in next column
Multiply these and put answer above line in next column
Multiply these and put answer above line in next column
Bring first number down below line
- 3
Add these up
- 9 3
Add these up
Add these up 1
x2 + x 3
- 1 1
This is the remainder
Put variables back in (one x was divided out in process so first number is one less power than original problem).
So the answer is:
List all coefficients (numbers in front of x's) and the constant along the top. If a term is missing, put in a 0.

43. Let's try another Synthetic Division
0 x3
0 x
Set divisor = 0 and solve. Put answer here.
x - 4 = 0 so x = 4 1 4
Multiply these and put answer above line in next column
Multiply these and put answer above line in next column
Multiply these and put answer above line in next column
Multiply these and put answer above line in next column
Bring first number down below line 4
Add these up 16 48
192
Add these up
Add these up
Add these up 1
x3 + x x + 4 12 48
198
This is the remainder
Now put variables back in (remember one x was divided out in process so first number is one less power than original problem so x3).
So the answer is:
List all coefficients (numbers in front of x's) and the constant along the top. Don't forget the 0's for missing terms.

44. Let's try a problem where we factor the polynomial completely given one of its factors.
You want to divide the factor into the polynomial so set divisor = 0 and solve for first number.
- 2
Multiply these and put answer above line in next column
Multiply these and put answer above line in next column
Multiply these and put answer above line in next column
Bring first number down below line
- 8
Add these up 50
Add these up
Add these up
No remainder so x + 2 IS a factor because it divided in evenly 4
x2 + x
- 25
Put variables back in (one x was divided out in process so first number is one less power than original problem).
So the answer is the divisor times the quotient:
List all coefficients (numbers in front of x's) and the constant along the top. If a term is missing, put in a 0.
You could check this by multiplying them out and getting original polynomial

49. 6-6 Solving Rational Equation
. . . And Why
To solve problems using rational equations
6-6 Solving Rational Equation

50. A rational equation is an equation that contains one or more rational expressions. These are rational equations.
To solve a rational equation, we multiply both sides by the LCD to clear fractions.

51. Multiplying by the LCD
Multiplying to remove parentheses
Simplifying

53. The LCD is x - 5, We multiply by x - 5 to clear fractions
5 is not a solution of the original equation because it results in division by 0, Since 5 is the only possible solution, the equation has no solution.

54. No Solution
y = 57

55. The LCD is x - 2. We multiply by x - 2.

56. The number -2 is a solution, but 2 is not since it results in division by O.

58. The solutions are 2 and 3.

59. e. x = 3
f. x = -3, 4
g. x = 1, -½
h. x = 1, -½

60. This checks in the original equation, so the solution is 7.

61. x = 7
x = -13
