In order to divide polynomials using synthetic division, you must be dividing by a linear expression and the leading coefficient (first number) must be a 1. For example, you can use synthetic division to divide by x + 3 or x - 6, but you cannot use synthetic division to divide by x2 + 2 or 3x2 - x + 7. If the leading coefficient is not a 1, then you must divide by the leading coefficient to turn the leading coefficient into a 1. For example, 3x - 1 would become
It was a Sunday night benefit show at The Ante Room and dark synth was the call of the evening. Organized to raise funds for Daniel Runion after he suffered a devastating car accident, the lineup featured a slew of Charlottesville electronica bands including Just Sex, Alethea Leventhal of Ships In The Night, and This Hollow Machine. But perhaps the most storied performer of the evening was Shawn Decker, founder of Synthetic Division and survivor of HIV for nearly thirty years.
Looking at the first term in the dividend, we ask, "How many times does the first term of the divisor (x) need to be multiplied to get the first term of the dividend (x4)? The answer is x3. Write x3 on top of the bar above the x4 term, multiply both terms of the divisor by x3, and write each result below the dividend term with the same power of x. Subtract:
Let's say you have a quadratic function (degree 2) and you need to find the roots. The roots of a function are the values that make the function equal to zero. On a graph, they are where the function crosses the x-axis. There are several different ways to find the roots of a quadratic function. You could try factoring it or you could complete the square. There's always the Quadratic Formula too.
Program Running Note: When running the program, the coefficients must be entered in list format at the prompt. For example, x2 +3x +2 would be entered as 1, 3, 2. Be sure to use braces rather than brackets or parentheses. You can read the remainder from the display, but it you want it displayed, press EXE after the list is displayed.
Once you have used the rational root theorem to list all the possible rational roots of any polynomial, the next step is to test the roots. One way is to use synthetic division. Synthetic division is a shortcut for long division of polynomials. It's a special case of division when the divisor is a linear factor of the form x + c, where c is a constant.
Written for educators - and their students too! - this website, slowly growing, takes all the content Tanton has developed in his books, videos, and workshops, and organizes it into short, self-contained, and complete, curriculum units proving that mathematics, at all points of the school curriculum, can be joyous, fresh, innovative, rich, deep-thinking, and devoid of any rote doing! Let's teach generations of students to be self-reliant thinkers, willing to flail and to use their common sense to "nut their way" through challenges, to assess and judge results, and to adjust actions to find success. (Great life skills!)
Class Notes Each class has notes available. Most of the classes have practice problems with solutions available on the practice problems pages. Also most classes have assignment problems for instructors to assign for homework (answers/solutions to the assignment problems are not given or available on the site).
Ok, so I'm doing synthetic division for a polynomial and I have to show all my work, but no matter what number I use from the ration root theorem, nothing works, which means all the 0s are imaginary, but then how do I find out exactly which imaginary numbers there are? Because I couldn't find a "quartic" formula and I'm not always dealing with a polynomial where there's an automatic formula for it like a quadratic formula, so is there still some quick way I can do this? Preferably using synthetic division or should I just say in an equation like that where the highest degree is in x^n, there's n "i"s?
Living with hemophilia was hard enough for Shawn growing up in Waynesboro. Every nosebleed or banged-up knee could be life-threatening. Injections of a clotting drug made from donated blood saved his life, but something else passed through the needle-HIV, which drug manufacturers weren't testing for in 1987.
First, we need to write this expression in long division form. You write it the same way you do normal long division, as if they are only simple numbers. I'll show you what I mean very soon. There is one catch to this. You need to use place holders if you have powers of x that are missing. The dividend, the thing on the inside being divided, needs to have all powers of x represented in decreasing order. The first term must be of the highest power of x that is in the expression. The second term must be one lower power of x. If there is none of that power, you put a zero. In this first example, there is no x². I'll show you how it's done.
I was sitting in a school improvement meeting paying less attention than I ought to, and started trying to figure out how to figure out the topic above. What is below is my way.. I tried to find something about this on the internet, but only found sites that deal with linear factors, and some of them said that what I have done was not possible (I hope they are wrong)... Then when I came home I found a post on the AP Calculus Discussion site that asked how to do this very thing, with a citation for an article in the Mathematics Teacher, (March, 1980 journal (hopefully the archives go back that far), there is an article called "Synthetic Division for Nonlinear Factors"..thanks to Lisa Lewis) that describes the process. Unfortunatly I can't get that on-line.
Polynomial long division is a method used to simplify polynomial rational functions by dividing a polynomial by another, same or lower degree, polynomial. It is useful when simplifying polynomial expressions by hand because it breaks down a complex problem into smaller problems. Sometimes a polynomial is divided by a linear factor in the general form ax + b. In this case, a shortcut method called synthetic division can be used to simplify the rational expression. This method is typically used to find the roots, or zeros, of a polynomial.

At the time, America was in a misinformed panic over HIV. Shawn was in 6th grade when his parents found out and they waited months to tell him. My mom wanted to let my teacher know what happened,” said Shawn. As soon as school officials learned of his condition, they contacted doctors on how to handle the situation; their advice was to suspend Shawn. The next day, I'm called to the office and told my mom's going to pick me up,” Shawn remembered. My mom says I was crying and saying, ‘I didn't do anything wrong.'”
