Determining how to multiply a polynomial by another polynomial

To multiply two polynomials,

 Multiply each term in one polynomial by each term in the other polynomial using
methods of choice: Distributive Method, FOIL Method, Vertical Method,
 Add those answers together, and simplify if needed

Dividing Polynomial by Monomials

1. When dividing polynomial by Monomial, the division can be done in two ways. One
is by simply separating the “+” and “-“operator signs. That means, we break the
polynomial from the operating sign, and solve each part separately. Another method
is to do the simple factorization and further simplifying.

2. For dividing polynomials by binomial or any other types of polynomial, the most
common and general method is the Long Division Method and Synthetic Division
Method.

Dividing Polynomials Using Long Division Method

Step 1. Divide the first term of the dividend (4x2) by the first term of the divisor
(x), and put that as the first term in the quotient (4x).
Step 2. Multiply the divisor by that answer, place the product (4x 2 - 12x) below
the dividend.

Step 3. Subtract to create a new polynomial (7x - 21).

Step 4. Repeat the same process with the new polynomial obtained after
subtraction.

So, when we are dividing a polynomial (4x2 - 5x - 21) with a binomial

(x - 3), the quotient is 4x+7 and the remainder is 0.

 Check if the Polynomial is in the standard form.

 Write the coefficient in the dividend’s place and write the zero of the linear
factor in the divisor’s place.
 Bring the first coefficient down.

 Multiply it with the divisor and write it below the next coefficient.
 Add them and write the value below.

 Repeat the previous step until you reach the last term.

 Separate the last term thus obtained which is the remainder if there is,
 Now group the coefficient with the variables to get the quotient.

E. Generalization
The division is the process of splitting a quantity into equal amounts. In terms of
mathematics, the process of repeated subtraction or the reverse operation of multiplication
is termed as division. For example, when 20 is divided by 4 we get 5 as the result since 4 is
subtracted 5 times from 20.

For dividing polynomials, generally, three cases can arise:

 Division of a monomial by another monomial

 Division of a polynomial by monomial
 Division of a polynomial by binomial
 Division of a polynomial by another polynomial
