Dividing Polynomials by Binomials

How do you apply the traditional division algorithm to polynomials? Here is an Algebra II lesson that extends the use of the division algorithm to polynomials. After establishing the concept of long division, synthetic division and the...

More than just a worksheet, this guide provides the description of many of the polynomials theorems to assist the learners. Starting with synthetic division, class members are then guided through the remainder theorem and linear...

Here is a unit test on finding factors and zeros of higher-degree polynomials that could be used as a review or practice test. The Remainder Theorem, Rational Zero Theorem, and Factor Theorem are put into use. While this four-page...

In this Algebra II/college level worksheet, students use long and synthetic division to divide polynomials and use the Factor Theorem to show that a given polynomial is a factor of a polynomial function.  The two page worksheet...

Let's think about the ways in which a person could simplify an expression where a polynomial is divided by a monomial. Sal shares 3 different modes he could use to simplify, then uses each way to solve the same problem.

Go ahead and divide as if nothing is missing. The video shows the long division process using a cubic polynomial with no missing terms being divided by a linear binomial. Pupils see how to write the remainder within the quotient.

Divide two polynomial expressions by writing the problem as a fraction or as long division. Sal shows how to use long division to divide polynomials. A solid understanding of polynomial operations is necessary to grasp this video.

Put your math pupils’ division skills - and algebra skills - to the test with this video, which introduces the concept of polynomial division. Sal's examples increase in complexity as the video progresses, allowing viewers to see how...

Learn how a trinomial is divided by a binomial in this long division problem. The instructor does a good job explaining all the steps necessary to solve this problem.

The rational expression in this example is of a trinomial divided by a trinomial. Learn how to simplify this rational expression. The instructor demonstrates how to factor each trinomial and cancel the like terms to get it in simplest form.
