Introduction
Polynomial Division:
◦ Division is a fundamental operation in mathematics.
◦ In algebra, polynomials are expressions containing variables and
coefficients.
◦ Polynomial division involves dividing one polynomial by another.

What is synthetic division
•Synthetic division is a shorthand method for dividing a polynomial by
a linear factor.
•Synthetic division is a quicker way to divide a polynomial by a linear
factor.
6
When to
Use Synthetic Division
•This is best for dividing polynomials by linear factors in the form of
(x-c).
•Faster and simpler than long division in these cases.

SYSNTHETIC DIVISION METHOD
STEP BY STEP
8
Step 1
Set up the Division:
Write down the coefficients of the terms in the dividend (2, -5, 3, -7).
Write the root of the divisor (x - 3) on the left side.
3 | 2 -5 3 -7

STEP 2
Bring Down the First Coefficient:
•Bring down the first coefficient (2) below the division bar.

3 | 2 -5 3 -7

STEP 3
Multiply and Add:
•Multiply the root (3) by the number below the division bar (2)
•and add the result to the next coefficient.

STEP 4
Repeat:
•Repeat the process. Multiply 3 by the new number below the division
bar (3) and add to the next coefficient.

STEP 5
Final Result:
•The bottom row contains the coefficients of the quotient
•(2x^2 + 3x + 11) and the last number is the remainder.
