Synthetic Division Quiz

What is the first step in rewriting the divisor x + 2 for synthetic division?

• Rewrite it as x minus negative 2

• Rewrite it as x plus 0

• Rewrite it as x plus negative 2

• Rewrite it as x minus 2

What should be done if a polynomial term is missing during the synthetic division setup?

• Ignore the missing term

• Add a zero for the missing term's coefficient

• Add a one for the missing term's coefficient

• Skip the division process

What is the result of multiplying the first coefficient by the a term in synthetic division?

• It gives the next coefficient

• It gives the remainder

• It gives the next term to add

• It gives the final answer

How do you determine the degree of the resulting polynomial after synthetic division?

• It is one more than the original polynomial's degree

• It is two less than the original polynomial's degree

• It is one less than the original polynomial's degree

• It is the same as the original polynomial
