Polynomial Long and Synthetic Division

What is the first step in polynomial long division?

• Subtract the remainder

• Multiply all terms by the divisor

• Divide the leading terms

• Add the dividend and divisor

Which term describes the result of dividing one polynomial by another?

• Dividend

• Quotient

• Remainder

• Divisor

What does the remainder tell us about a polynomial division?

• The division is complete

• The divisor is a factor

• The dividend is incorrect

• The divisor is not a factor

When can synthetic division be used?

• For any type of divisor

• Only for constant divisors

Which step comes after dividing the leading terms in long division?

• Combine like terms

• Multiply, subtract, repeat

• Rewrite the divisor

• Add remainder to the quotient

• 4, -2, 2, 6

• 2, -2, 4, 2

• 4, 2, -2, 6

• 4, 2, 2, 6

How does synthetic division simplify calculations?

• A) It skips the subtraction step

• B) It avoids multiplication

• C) It works for all divisors

• D) It uses only coefficients

• To simplify subtraction

• To ensure terms align properly

• To avoid adding terms

• To make calculations harder
