Dividing Polynomials

Divide the polynomial by the monomial.

• 15x⁹ - 8x³
• 3x⁶ - 8x³
• -5x¹²
• 3x⁶ - 40x³

• 5p² - 16p
• 5p + 4
• 5p - 4
• 5p + 4p

For synthetic division, what would be the number in the left hand box?

• 0
• 1
• 2
• 3

• 5p² - 16p
• 5p + 4
• 5p - 4
• 5p + 4p

• -9

• 11

• -13

• 1

• x+7

• x+2

• X-10

• X-7

• x+3

• x+9

• x-3

• x-9

• x + 18

How can I tell, when doing synthetic division, if the binomial is a FACTOR of the dividend?

• The remainder is zero

• They are all factors

• We can't tell

• The remainder is a constant
