• Calculate the remainder

• Ensure the divisor is linear

• Find the roots of the polynomial

In synthetic division, what do you do after setting the divisor equal to zero?

• Divide the coefficients

• Solve for the variable

• Add the coefficients

• Multiply the coefficients

What is the significance of the first number in synthetic division?

• It is the divisor

• It is a placeholder

• It is the remainder

• It is a freebie

How do you determine the remainder in synthetic division?

• It is the sum of all numbers

• It is the product of all numbers

• It is the first number

• It is the last number

What does a remainder of zero indicate in synthetic division?

• The divisor is not a factor

• The polynomial is not factorable

• The polynomial is factorable

• The divisor evenly divides the polynomial

What is the next step after finding the quotient in synthetic division?

• Add the coefficients
