Polynomial division is actually quite similar to the method of long division that I was taught back in elementary school. Instead of simply using numbers as we did back then, there are variables to deal with as well. However, the process is effectively the same. We go through the problem term by term, just like in numerical long division.

What is synthetic division?

Synthetic division is a simplified method for dividing a polynomial by a linear binomial of the form (x - c). It involves using the coefficients of the polynomial and performing operations that resemble long division but are more streamlined. This technique is particularly useful for quickly finding polynomial quotients and remainders without having to write out the entire long division process. Synthetic division is efficient and can be applied when the divisor is a linear polynomial.


Why are polynomials not closed under division?

Polynomials are not closed under division because dividing one polynomial by another can result in a quotient that is not a polynomial. Specifically, when a polynomial is divided by another polynomial of a higher degree, the result can be a rational function, which includes terms with variables in the denominator. For example, dividing (x^2) by (x) gives (x), a polynomial, but dividing (x) by (x^2) results in (\frac{1}{x}), which is not a polynomial. Thus, the closure property does not hold for polynomial division.


What is the qoutient of dividing a trinomial to monomial?

A binomial and possibly a fraction.


What is polynomial division?

That means that you divide one polynomial by another polynomial. Basically, if you have polynomials "A" and "B", you look for a polynomial "C" and a remainder "R", such that: B x C + R = A ... such that the remainder has a lower degree than polynomial "B", the polynomial by which you are dividing. For example, if you divide by a polynomial of degree 3, the remainder must be of degree 2 or less.


How dividing by decimal is different from dividing by whole number and how it is similar?

Dividing by decimal is different from dividing by whole number as you have to multiply by a number to remove the decimal.
