Dividing polynomials using synthetic division

👉 Learn about dividing by synthetic division when the divisor is a fraction. Synthetic division is a method of dividing polynomials by linear expressions. To divide using synthetic division, we equate the divisor to 0 and then solve for the variable, the solution for the variable will be the synthetic divisor. In dividing with synthetic division, we set up the coefficients of the dividend polynomial against the synthetic divisor to get the coefficients of the quotient and the remainder. If there are any missing terms when applying synthetic division we must use a place holder zero in its place. It is also important to make sure your dividend polynomial is in standard form with descending powers.

This answer is incorrect. To use synthetic for this problem you must divide by 3(x - 2/3). You have divided by the (x - 2/3) but now need to divide by 3 as well. Making your quotient 2x^2 - 4x + 3.

i did enjoy this thank you wish if you were my teacher wish if my teacher could teach like you like ir really wish to send her the link and tell her to explain like this love your videos so

Althought I am quite aware that the answer is incorrect, still this helped me alot.

Not the hero we deserved.

It would have just been easier to use an area model.
