Synthetic Division No Remainder

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

Was this problem done correctly?

• Yes

• No

It's time to write the answer. What goes in the yellow area?

• 9

• -9

What is the next step in synthetic division?

• Multiply the 9 and 6

• Add the 9 and 6

• Bring down the -48

What is the next step in synthetic division?

• Add the -48 to the 54

• Multiply the 54 and 6

• Divide the 54 by 6

• Bring down the -58

When can we use Synthetic Division to divide polynomials?

• Any time we need to divide.

• When dividing by a binomial

• When dividing by a trinomial

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

• 0

• 1

• 2

• 3

Was this problem done correctly and is the answer the correct interpretation?

• Yes

• No

What is the next step?

• Write remainder of 4x

• there is nothing more to do

• multiply by 4

• bring down the -20

After bringing down the -20, we should do what?

• Write remainder of 4x-20

• there is nothing more to do

• multiply the binomial out front by +4

• Multiply the binomial out front by -4
