Question

Can someone explain division of polynomials to me please.

Answer 1

Answer: Division of Polynomials is just like the long division  that most of us despise but this division is with Variables

Step-by-step explanation:

Example

With whatever equation you have you will

• First: set up the division putting the dividend inside the divisor outside and to the left
• Second: Ignore everything past the leading terms and just focus on the leading _ of the divisor and the leading _ of the dividend (just like in regular long division.
• Thirdly: Take whatever is on top and multiply is by the divisor {What is on the side} carry the result underneath put it exactly below the number from the dividend
• Fourth: Multiply the number that is on top by the number that is on the side, carry what is on the side underneath putting it below the other dividend.
• Fifth: Do the subtraction
• Sixth To subtract change all the signs in the second line, then add down.
• Next: Carry down that last term from the dividend
• From there you multiply and then add down again and you should be left with the answer....

If this was to many words let me know and I will upload a picture and explain with a real equation.
