Synthetic Division only uses the ____________ of a polynomial to divide.

• Terms

• Numbers (coefficients)

• Variables

• Numbers and letters

• 2x - 5

• x - 4

• x + 4

• 2x + 4

Divide the polynomial by the monomial.

• 2x⁸-8x²-28x
• 2x⁸-2x²-7x
• 8x⁷-8x-28x
• 2x⁷ -2x -7

Is (x-4) a factor of (x³ +x² -16x-16)? Show your work and explain.

Cam divided (x⁴ + 3x² - 4x - 2) by factor of (x-2) using synthetic division. His work is shown above. Which best describes his mistake?

• Cam wrote the remainder incorrectly.

• Cam did not use a zero place holder for the x³ term.

• Cam added instead of subtracting the rows.

• Cam should have used -2 as his division since the factor was x-2.
