Study Notes

Synthetic Division

  • Synthetic division simplifies polynomial division by only using coefficients.
  • Commonly used for dividing a polynomial by a linear polynomial.

Division Problem Examples

  • For dividing (3x³ + 5x² - 14x - 18) by (x - 2), the result is 3x² + 11x + 8 with a remainder of -2.
  • Dividing (2x³ + 7x² + 13x + 14) by (x + 2) yields 2x² + 3x + 7.

Quotients from Division Problems

  • Dividing 2 | 5 3 8 -2 results in a quotient of 5x² + 13x + 34 with a remainder of 66.
  • For -3 | 5 3 8 -2, the quotient is 2x² - 5x + 10 with a remainder of -28.

Additional Division Examples

  • Dividing (x² - 5x + 2) by (x - 3) results in x - 2 with a remainder of -4.
  • (2x² - 3x - 5) divided by (x + 1) gives a quotient of 2x - 5.

Advanced Polynomial Division

  • (3x³ + 17x² + 26x + 24) divided by (x + 4) results in the quotient 3x² + 5x + 6.
  • Dividing (2x³ + x² - 11 + 2) by (x - 2) results in a quotient of 2x² + 5x - 1.

Graph Characteristics

  • The graph of y = |x - 1| + 2 has a V-shape opening upwards.

Matrix Multiplication

  • Finding the product of matrices [1 2], [-2 3 -1], [5 0] results in [-2 -4], [-6 2], [-10 0].

Ellipse Equation

  • The equation of an ellipse is represented as ((x - 5)^2/16 + (y + 2)^2/9 = 1).
