Polynomial Division Algorithm Explained with Examples

The video tutorial explains how to divide polynomials and introduces the division algorithm. It begins with a basic example of dividing numbers, using a school assembly scenario to illustrate the concept. The tutorial then transitions to polynomial division, detailing the steps involved, such as arranging polynomials by degree and using the division algorithm to verify results. The video concludes by summarizing the steps and verifying the division process.

Explain the division algorithm in your own words.

How do you determine which polynomial is the dividend and which is the divisor?

What is the first step in dividing two polynomials?

What should you do if a degree is missing in a polynomial during division?

Describe the process of multiplying the divisor by the term to cancel out terms in the dividend.

What happens to the signs when you subtract terms during polynomial division?

When do you stop the division process in polynomial division?
