Applying long division

The video tutorial explains the process of performing long division on polynomials. It begins with setting up the division problem, placing the divisor and dividend correctly. The instructor then demonstrates dividing X into X^4, simplifying the terms, and repeating the process for the remaining terms. The tutorial concludes with the final steps and the resulting quotient, emphasizing the importance of understanding each step in the long division process.

What is the first step in setting up a long division problem?

• Write the dividend inside the box and the divisor outside.

• Multiply the divisor by the dividend.

• Subtract the divisor from the dividend.

• Add the divisor to the dividend.

In the long division process, what do you do after multiplying the divisor by the current term of the quotient?

• Multiply the result by the next term of the divisor.

• Add the result to the dividend.

• Subtract the result from the dividend.

• Divide the result by the dividend.

How do you determine the next term in the quotient during long division?

• By multiplying the divisor by the current remainder.

• By subtracting the divisor from the current remainder.

• By dividing the leading term of the current remainder by the leading term of the divisor.

• By adding the divisor to the current remainder.

What happens to the terms that result in zero after subtraction in long division?

• They are added back to the dividend.

• They are carried over to the next step.

• They are ignored and not written down.

• They are multiplied by the divisor.

What is the final result of a long division problem called?

• Dividend

• Remainder

• Divisor

• Quotient
