Study Notes
Polynomial Long Division
- A method similar to long division for numbers can be used to divide polynomials.
Key Concepts
- The remainder in polynomial long division is the leftover value after dividing one polynomial by another.
- If there are missing terms in polynomial long division, write them in with a coefficient of zero.
- To check the answer in polynomial long division, multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder; the result should be the dividend.
- For polynomial long division to work, the dividend and divisor polynomials should be written in descending order of degree.
