Question

Which method do you prefer to use to divide polynomials? Long division or Synthetic division? Explain why.

Answer 1

Answer: I prefer long division because that is the method I understand

Step-by-step explanation:

I prefer long division because that is the method I understand .for example

(x^2+3x+2) ➗ (x+2)

x+1

|````````````````````````

x+2 x^2+3x+2

-(x^2+2x)

````````````````````````````

x+2

- (x+2)

````````````````````````

0

`````````````````````````

therefore (x^2+3x+2) ➗ (x+2)=x+1

Answer 2

Answer:

Long division

Step-by-step explanation:

The method I would prefer to use to divide polynomials would be long division.

In synthetic division if you're dividing two polynomials, the denominator should look like this: x+b.

Long divison can be complicated but it gets the job done.
