Dividing Polynomials
(5x3)/ 1x2
5x1
What do you do once all of the boxes are filled in when multiplying?
Re-write them outside of the box
(5x2 + 3) (7x)
35x3 + 21x
(6x4 - 3x2)/ 3x
2x2 - 1x
What is the next step for the answer?
5x + 3 - 3x
Simplify!
2x + 3
(4x + 2) (9x)
36x2 + 18x
(9x2 - 3x + 12)/ 3x
3x- 1 + 4x
What is the first step in a division problem?
Re-write the problem with the division bar.
(6x2 - 3) (6x3 + 2x)
36x5 - 6x3 - 6x
(11x5 + 7x3 - 2x)/ x2
11x3 + 7x1 - 2x-1
How many boxes would you need for this problem:
(5x + 3) (3x2 - 4x + 2)
6
(8x + 2) (6x - 3x2)
42x2 -24x3 +12x
(8x3 - x2 + 2x - 1)/ 2x
4x2 - (1/2)x + 1 - (1/2)x
What do you do with the exponents when you multiply?
You add the exponents!
(2x2 + 3x + 1) (2x + 2)
4x3 + 4x2 + 6x2 + 6x + 2x +2
4x3 + 10x2 +8x +2
