Learn how to use long division to divide two polynomials

The video tutorial explains the process of dividing polynomials, focusing on using a binomial as the divisor. It emphasizes the importance of arranging the divisor in standard form and only dividing by the first term. The tutorial also covers handling missing terms by using placeholders and suggests using addition and negation instead of subtraction to avoid errors. The final steps include calculating the remainder and writing the final answer.
