Objectives:
1. Write the polynomial expressions in standard form.
2. Divide a polynomial by a binomial using long division.
3. Find the quotient of polynomial expression by synthetic division.
Prepared by:
The polynomial is n degree; a n is the leading coefficient, a n x n is the leading term, and a 0 is
the constant. A polynomial is in standard form if it is written in descending powers of x wherein
the first term is the leading term.
EXAMPLES:
Write the following polynomials in standard form.

DIVISION OF POLYNOMIALS
P (x) R(x )
In general, if P(x) and D(x) are polynomials with D(x)≠0, we can write =Q ( x )+ or
D( x) D( x )
P(x) = Q(x) D(x) + R(x), where R(x) is either 0 or its degree is less than the degree of D(x). If R(x) = 0,
then we say that D(x) is a factor of P(x).
A. LONG DIVISION
Steps in dividing polynomials using long division.
1. Write both divisor and dividend in standard form.
2. Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor to get the first term of the quotient.
3. Multiply the terms of the divisor by the first term of the quotient.
4. Subtract the product from the dividend.
5. Use the remainder to repeat the process in finding the second term of the quotient.
6. Continue the process until the remainder is zero or is lower degree polynomial than the divisor.
