Dividing Polynomials; Remainder and Factor Theorems
www.alamo.eduThe Remainder and Factor Theorems: Synthetic division can be used to find the values of polynomials in a sometimes easier way than substitution. This is shown by the next theorem. If the polynomial P(x) is divided by x – c, then the remainder is the value P(c). Example 5: Use synthetic division and the Remainder Theorem to evaluate P(c) if

Terms in division We are familiar with division in arithmetic. The number that is to be divided is called the dividend. The dividend is divided by the divisor.
