Dividing Polynomials with Polydoku

This video tutorial demonstrates how to divide polynomials using the Polydoku method. It begins with an introduction to the concept and proceeds to set up the polynomial division by arranging exponents and creating a division table. The tutorial then guides viewers through the step-by-step process of performing the division, highlighting the importance of filling in missing exponents and using a structured table. The video concludes with the final result of the division, providing a clear understanding of the Polydoku method.
