Dividing Polynomials Using the Tabular Method

This video tutorial covers the process of dividing polynomials, starting with key vocabulary such as divisor, quotient, and dividend. It explains the basics of dividing polynomials and monomials, focusing on dividing coefficients and subtracting exponents. The tutorial demonstrates the tabular method for division through two examples, highlighting the setup and execution of the box method. The video concludes with a recap of the tabular method and its application in polynomial division.
