How to use synthetic division to divide two polynomials forgot to write the quotient out

The video tutorial covers the process of synthetic division, starting with an introduction and overview of the session. It explains the concepts of factors and zeros in polynomial division, followed by the basics of synthetic division, including its requirements. The tutorial then demonstrates how to set up and perform synthetic division with examples, emphasizing the importance of having a linear binomial divisor. The session concludes with a detailed walkthrough of the synthetic division process, ensuring students understand each step.

What is the main focus of the class session as introduced by the teacher?

• Introducing a new topic unrelated to division

• Discussing the next class's schedule

• Going over a problem and synthetic division

• Reviewing a previous exam

What is a requirement for the divisor in synthetic division?

• It must be a quadratic polynomial

• It must be a linear binomial

• It can be any polynomial

• It must be a constant

How do you find the zero from a factor in synthetic division?

• Add zero to the factor

• Divide the factor by zero

• Set the factor equal to zero

• Multiply the factor by zero

What is the first step in setting up synthetic division?

• Finding the zero of the divisor

• Subtracting the constant term

• Adding all coefficients

• Multiplying the coefficients

In synthetic division, what do you do after bringing down the coefficients?

• Subtract them from the constant

• Multiply them by the zero

• Divide them by the divisor

• Add them horizontally

What is the result of adding -20 and 24 in the synthetic division process?

• Negative 4

• Positive 4

• Zero

• Negative 44

What is the final result when -24 is added to -24 in the synthetic division?

• -24

• -48

• 0

• 48
