c. Apply multiplying polynomials in real life situation
II. SUBJECT MATTER
Topic: Dividing Polynomials
Materials: Flashcards
References: LM pages 134 - 139

III. PROCEDURE
A. Preliminaries
Developmental Activity
Recall the rules in dividing integers through flashcards.

B. Lesson Proper
1. Teaching/ Modelling
Illustrative examples
Consider the following examples

3)
2. Analysis
Answer the following questions:
1. Using the examples how do we divide polynomials?
2. What are the steps in long division?

3. Guided Practice

3.
4. Independent Practice
Divide the polynomials. Show the complete solution.

5. Generalization
Rules in Dividing Polynomials
1. To divide polynomial by a monomial, simply divide each term of the
polynomial by the given divisor.
2. To divide polynomial by a polynomial with more than one term (by long
division),
Simply follow the procedure in dividing numbers by long division.
These are some suggested steps to follow:
1) Check the dividend and the divisor if it is in standard form.
2) Set-up the long division by writing the division symbol where the
divisor is outside the division symbol and the dividend inside it.
3) You may now start the Division, Multiplication, Subtraction and Bring
Down cycle.
4) You can stop the cycle when:
a) the quotient (answer) has reached the constant term.
b) the exponent of the divisor is greater than the exponent of the
dividend

6. Application
 7. Assessment
Solve the following problems.
1) Give the quotient of each of the following.
a) 30x3y5 divided by -5x2y5
b) Divide x3 + 7x – 6 by x – 2
2) If I spent (x3 + 5x2 – 2x – 24) pesos for (x2 + x – 6) pencils, how much does
each pencil cost?
3) If 5 is the number needed to be multiplied by 9 to get 45, what polynomial is
needed to be multiplied to x + 3 to get 2x2 + 3x – 9?
4) The length of the rectangle is x cm and its area is (x 3 – x) cm2. What is the
measure of its width?
