Examples: Divide using polynomial
long division.
1.) (3x2 - 11x - 26)÷(x-5)
Dec 4­6:22 PM
2.) (7x3 + 11x2 + 7x + 5) ÷(x2 +1)

Synthetic Division: Alternative
to long division.
-Can only be used when dividing by
a factor of the form x - k.
Examples Divide using synthetic
division.
1.) (4x2 - 13x - 5) ÷(x-2)
