Synthetic Division

Pre-Requisite §

• Make sure the terms are in highest to lowest degrees
  • If not in order eg: x${}^5$ x${}^3$ then use a place holder 0 to represent x${}^4$
• If the polynomial co-efficient isn’t 1 then you have to use Long Division

Rules §

• Make sure the degrees are in descending order and use 0 as a place holder

Method §
