Dividing Polynomials with Long Division
In this lesson, the instructor explains how to divide polynomials using long division. He demonstrates the same step-by-step algorithm used in traditional long division, but instead applies it to polynomial equations. By working with the leading terms of each polynomial and checking answers through multiplication, students can successfully complete the division process. The final answer includes the quotient and remainder of the division, and this technique can be used for more complex polynomial equations.
How to divide polynomials using long division
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.
