Lesson 7 | Dividing Polynomials Using Synthetic Division | MissMore
Synthetic Division is an alternative method that we can use in Dividing Polynomials. It is way simpler than Long Division but it's not applicable to any problem. In using this method, we have to make sure that the divisor is in the form of x-r where x must have an exponent of 1 and r is any constant number.
MAMA stands for Multiply Add Multiply Add (repeat until all coefficients are used up)
In writing the quotient, make sure to subtract the greatest power in the dividend with 1. The difference will be the power of the first term of your quotient.
