Here's how the process of synthetic division works, step-by-step. Divide \(3{x^3} - 4x + 5\) by \((x + 2)\) and state the quotient and remainder. First, make sure the polynomial is listed in order of ...

In algebra and calculus, a polynomial function is used to chart out graphs and waves with much more complexity than a simple linear factor. Polynomial division is sometimes required to factor them, ...

Adding to his extensive collection of simple but effective and clear math apps, Esa Helttula has now introduced Polynomial Long Division. Most of Esa's previous apps have been about arithmetic, ...

I closed my recent post, So Long, Long Division, by asking you to either join me in acknowledging that long division is a meaningless math procedure or to share reasons students should learn long ...

The previous method works perfectly well but only finds the remainder. To find the quotient as well, use synthetic division as follows. Now you need to factorise the second bracket. There's no point ...
