Study Notes

Polynomial Division Concepts

  • Long division of polynomials involves breaking down a polynomial, similar to numerical long division.
  • The term ( 3x^2 ) in the quotient arises when dividing ( 3x^4 ) by ( x^2 ).

Polynomial Operations

  • The polynomial ( -2x^3 - x^2 + 13x ) is achieved after subtracting ( 3x^4 + 9x^3 + 3x^2 ) from a dividend and bringing down ( 13x ).
  • Completing the division gives a quotient of ( 3x^2 + x - 2 ) and a remainder of ( 5 ).

Polynomial Multiplication Property

  • The equation ( (3x^2 + 22x + 7) ÷ (x + 7) = 3x + 1 ) exemplifies polynomial multiplication closure where ( (x + 7)(3x + 1) = 3x^2 + 22x + 7 ).

Quotients and Remainders

  • For ( (24x^3 - 14x^2 + 20x + 6) ÷ (4x^2 - 3x + 5) ), the quotient is ( 6x + 1 ) and the remainder is ( -7x + 1 ).

Area and Volume Applications

  • To find the width ( w ) of a rectangle with area ( A = 120x^2 + 78x - 90 ) and length ( l = 12x + 15 ), use division yielding ( w = 10x - 6 ).
  • The volume of a rectangular prism represented by ( 10x^3 + 46x^2 - 21x - 27 ) with a base area of ( 2x^2 + 8x - 9 ) results in a height ( h = 5x + 3 ).

Closure Properties of Polynomials

  • Whole numbers are closed under addition; likewise, polynomials maintain closure under addition and multiplication since combining polynomials results in polynomials with whole number exponents.

Remainder Theorem

  • Finding the remainder when dividing ( (x^3 - 2) ) by ( (x - 1) ) results in a remainder of ( -1 ).
