Question

Which of the following scenarios best describes division of a polynomial using synthetic division? Select all that apply. The division must occur between a polynomial and a linear term. Synthetic division uses only the variables when finding the quotient. If there is a number in the last term of the quotient, then there is a remainder. The quotient is written as a polynomial with a degree one power greater than the original dividend.

Answer 1

Answer:

Synthetic division is a process of polynomial division by a linear factor only.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statements are:

1. The division must occur between a polynomial and a linear term.

3. If there is a number in the last term of the quotient, then there is a remainder.  After division if there is any number left out except zero in the last term of quotient, then it is the remainder.

4. The quotient is written as a polynomial with a degree one power greater than the original dividend.
