Evaluating Polynomials Using Long Division

This video tutorial teaches how to evaluate polynomials for given values using substitution and long division. It begins with a simple example of substituting a value into a polynomial and solving it step-by-step. The tutorial then explains the long division method for polynomials, addressing common misunderstandings such as sign changes in binomials. The remainder theorem is introduced to verify solutions. Finally, the video covers advanced polynomial evaluation using long division, emphasizing the importance of placeholders for exponent terms.
