    Study Notes

    Key Concepts in Algebra: Dividing by a Monomial

    • Monomial: A polynomial consisting of a single term.
    • Polynomial: A mathematical expression made up of variables with whole number exponents, represented as one term or a sum of multiple terms.

    Finding Quotients

    • Example 1: (4z^a + 2 \div (-8z^a - 2) = -\frac{1}{2}z^4)
    • Example 2: (8y^7 \div 4y^5 = 2y^2)
    • Example 3: (12a^3p^4 \div -2a^2p = -6ap^3)
    • Example 4: (22x^2y^2 \div 11x^2y^2 = 2)

    Simplifying Expressions

    • Expression: ((8z - 10) \div (-2) + 5(z - 1) = z)
    • Expression: (7 - 3\left[\frac{(n^3 + 8n)}{-n} + 9n^2\right] = -24n^2 + 31)

    Polynomial Division

    • Example: ((18x^5 + 6x^4 - 12x^3) \div 6x^2 = 3x^3 + x^2 - 2x)
    • Example: ((5x - 35y + 50) \div 5 = x - 7y + 10)
    • Example: ((x^2 - 4xy) \div x = x - 4y)

    Click-and-Find Quotients

    • Example: (12x^ay^b \div (-6x^ay) = -2y^{b-1})
    • Example: (36m^5n^5 \div 12m^3 = 3m^2n^5)

    General Rules for Division

    • To divide monomials, divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents of like bases.
    • To divide a polynomial by a monomial, divide each term of the polynomial individually by the monomial.
