Synthetic Multiplication Quiz

What is the primary focus of synthetic multiplication?

• Variables and their exponents

• Order of operations

• Coefficients and constant terms

• Polynomial degree

Before setting up for synthetic multiplication, what must be ensured about the polynomial terms?

• They are in order from highest to lowest degree

• They are in alphabetical order

• They are all positive

• They are in order from lowest to highest degree

In synthetic multiplication, what is the first step after setting up the polynomials?

• Subtract the constants

• Divide the terms

• Add the variables

• Multiply the coefficients

When multiplying coefficients in synthetic multiplication, what should be done with the variables?

• Subtract them from the constants

• Add them to the coefficients

• Multiply them immediately

• Ignore them until the end

After multiplying the coefficients, what is the next step in synthetic multiplication?

• Divide the result by the highest degree

• Add the results together

• Subtract the smaller polynomial

• Multiply by the constant term

How do you determine the exponent for each term in the final polynomial expression?

• By the number of terms

• By the size of the coefficient

• By the original polynomial's degree order

• By the order of multiplication

What is the degree of the term that does not receive a variable in the final expression?

• Zero degree

• Second degree

• Third degree

• First degree

In the practice problem, what was added to the trinomial to fill in the missing term?

• A constant term

• A higher degree term

• A zero coefficient

• An extra variable

What is the final step in solving a synthetic multiplication problem?

• Subtracting the polynomials

• Reintroducing the variables

• Dividing the coefficients

• Adding more terms

What should you do if a polynomial term is missing in the setup for synthetic multiplication?

• Add a zero coefficient

• Ignore it

• Multiply by a constant

• Add a random number
