Dividing a Polynomial by a Trinomial Using Synthetic Division a not 1

This tutorial shows how to divide by a trinomial using synthetic division, when the leading coefficient of the trinomial isn't 1.

what if you can not factor anything out?
example: (12x^3-13x^2-13x+9)/(3x^2-4x)

You did a good job teaching, but it's easier to just use an area model.

what if the highest degree of the divisor is 3? for example:

Sir, I have been given with a division problem which is to divide 1-a^2-8x^3-6ax by 1-a-2X. The result is there but no steps have been mentioned as how to solve it. Shall be grateful, if the procedure is shown here.

Thank you for this one! I was able to answer my assignment :)

[danebuligao]

i follow your steps but the remainder become mixed fraction, what will i do? thank you

does the value of x in the divisor (the one thats already simplified), is it okay to write 1, 2, and 1/3 as my divisor?

Synthetic division does not seem to work for this problem: (x^5 - 4x^3 + x^2 + 3x+1) / (x^3 - 3x + 1)

What if it's (x^5 - y^5) ÷ (x-y) ?

3:27 You said -5 but you put positive 5. Lol.
