Overview of Dividing Polynomials
In this lesson, we learn how to divide polynomials using both long division and synthetic division. It's important to make sure that every single degree in the polynomial is taken care of, and a placeholder can be used when necessary. We also learn that finding the zeros of a polynomial can help us find the intercepts of the graph, which can be found by evaluating the function at each zero.
Overview of dividing polynomials
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.

This lesson talks about how to find the linear factors and zeros of a polynomial if you already know one linear factor or zero.
