III) SYNTHETIC DIVISION: Synthetic Division is an alternative to Long Division: Used for dividing polynomials Take the coefficients of your dividend: Place the divisor in front:

PRACTICE: Take the coefficients of your dividend: Place the divisor in front:

TWO REMINDERS WITH SYNTHETIC DIVISION i)If the Dividend is missing a term (skip in the exponents), replace missing term with coefficient of zero 2. If Divisor has a coefficient for the x-term, solve for “x” from the divisor. Do synthetic division. At the end, divide the quotient by the coefficient in the divisor.

PRACTICE: Take the coefficients of your dividend: Place the divisor in front: For the Quotient, divide all the coefficients by 2
