And now let me just draw my little funky synthetic division operator-looking symbol. And remember, the type of synthetic division we're doing, it only applies when we are dividing by an x plus or minus …

Sal explains why synthetic division gives you the same result as traditional algebraic long division. Created by Sal Khan.

Learn how to use synthetic division as another approach to solve polynomials. Created by Sal Khan.

But what we're going to cover in this video is a slightly different technique, and we call it synthetic division. And synthetic division is going to seem like a little bit of voodoo in the context of this video.

Rewrite expressions of the form a(x)/b(x), where a is a polynomial b is a linear binomial, in the form q(x)+r(x)/b(x), where q and r are polynomials and the degree of r is less than the degree of b.

After we have added, subtracted, and multiplied polynomials, it's time to divide them! This will prove to be a little bit more sophisticated. It turns out that not every polynomial division results in a …

It tells us the remainder when a polynomial is divided by \ [x - a\] is \ [f (a)\]. This means if \ [x - a\] is a factor of the polynomial, the remainder is zero. It's a neat trick to quickly find remainders without …

This video breaks down the process of dividing polynomials by linear factors. It starts with a given polynomial and a known factor, then uses polynomial division to rewrite the expression as a product …
