Solve the problem below. Write your solution and answer on the given space. If
you don’t have a printed copy of this kit, write your solution and answer in your
notebook.
Answer:
Were you able to answer the problem? If yes, you will find out if your answer is
correct after our discussion.
The distance travelled by Nat and her rate are polynomials. The number of hours
travelled by Nat is determined by dividing the distance by the rate. Let us now discuss
how to divide polynomials.
AAAAAA
There are two ways to divide polynomials. One is long division, and the other is
synthetic division. We will discuss first on how to divide polynomials using the long
division.
The process of long division is similar to the usual process of division of whole
numbers but applies the rules of operations on polynomials.

2. 2𝑥 2 𝑥 + 3 = 2𝑥 3 + 6𝑥 2
3. 2𝑥 3 − 3𝑥 2 − 𝑥 + 4 − 2𝑥 3 + 6𝑥 2 = −9𝑥 2 − 𝑥 + 4
−9𝑥 2
4. = −9𝑥
𝑥
8. 26 𝑥 + 3 = 26𝑥 + 78
9. 26𝑥 + 4 − 26𝑥 + 78 = −74

Quotient: 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 6, Remainder: 5

∴ 𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 − 7 ÷ 𝑥 − 2 = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 6 + 𝑥−2.

−6 27 −78 4. 2 −3 = −6
5. −3 + −6 = −9
2 −9 26 −74
6. −9 −3 = 27
7. −1 + 27 = 26
8. 26 −3 = −78
9. 4 + −78 = −74

6. 2 2 =4
7. 2+4=6
8. 6 2 = 12
9. −7 + 12 = 5
Quotient: 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 6, Remainder: 5
5
∴ 𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 − 7 ÷ 𝑥 − 2 = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 6 + 𝑥−2.
4 −6 −4 3 7. −1 + −3 = −4

4÷2 = 2 8. −4 = −2
2
9. 5 + −2 = 3
−6 ÷ 2 = −3
10. Since the root of the divisor is a fraction, divide the numbers on the
−4 ÷ 2 = −2 bottom row, except the last one, by the denominator of the root.
Quotient: 2𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 − 2, Remainder: 3
3
∴ 4𝑥 3 − 8𝑥 2 − 𝑥 + 5 ÷ 2𝑥 − 1 = 2𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 − 2 + 2𝑥−1.

To determine the value of 𝑃 − 𝑎 , (a) was done for you.
𝑥−2=0
𝑥=2
𝑃 𝑥 = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 7

2. What is the relationship between the remainder and the value of 𝑃 − 𝑎 ?
3. What can you say about the divisor when the remainder is zero?

Definition
Remainder Theorem
It states that when a polynomial 𝑃 𝑥 is divided by 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏, the remainder
𝑏
is 𝑃 − 𝑎 .
Factor Theorem
It states that when a polynomial 𝑃 𝑥 is divided by 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏, and the
remainder is zero, then 𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏 is a factor of 𝑃 𝑥 .
1. Equate 𝑥 − 2 to 0,
𝑥−2= 0
𝑥=2
2 4 −8 9 −5 𝑃 𝑥 = 4𝑥 3 − 8𝑥 2 + 9𝑥 − 5
8 0 18 3 2
𝑃 2 =4 2 −8 2 +9 2 −5
4 0 9 13 or 𝑃 2 =4 8 −8 4 +9 2 −5
𝑃 2 = 32 − 32 + 18 − 5
𝑃 2 = 13
∴ The remainder when 4𝑥 3 − 8𝑥 2 + 9𝑥 − 5 is divided by 𝑥 − 2 is 13.
