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.
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.
multiply means multying it or increasing dividing means decreasing
in dividing decimals you never get a remainder and in dividing whole numbers you do. +++ More to the point perhaps, you are working in powers of 10 all the time.
5 x 0.2 = 25 Or to put it a different way 25 / 0.2 = 5 Dividing something by a number greater than 1 gives you a smaller number Dividing something by 1 gives the same number Dividing something a number smaller than 1 gives you a larger number
No, taking ½ of a number is the same as dividing it by 2. Dividing a number by ½ is the same as multiplying it by 2.
Your dividing with variables now.

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.
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.
A binomial and possibly a fraction.

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

I can solve this question . But i think it is better to hold on . I want to register my finding with my name.
Yes, if there is no remainder after division, the divisor is a factor.
Dividing all terms by 4 gives: x2-x-30 = (x-6)(x+5) when factored
True.
