Dividing Polynomials by Monomials

A polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of variables, coefficients, and non-negative integer exponents, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

A monomial is a polynomial with only one term, which can be a constant, a variable, or a product of constants and variables.

To divide a polynomial by a monomial, divide each term of the polynomial by the monomial separately.

4x^2 + 2x - 1

5x^2

4x - 2 + 6/x

x^8 - 4x^2 - 14x

5x^9 - (8/3)x^3

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial.

A coefficient is a numerical factor in a term of a polynomial.
