Dividing Polynomials using Synthetic Division with Missing Term
In this lesson, we learn how to divide polynomials using synthetic division with a missing term. The key is to have the divisor in the form of x minus k and set up the polynomial with coefficients for each term. The process involves bringing down the first number, multiplying the divisor by it, adding the result to the next coefficient, and repeating until the end. The remainder is the last term, and the other terms are written in descending order.

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.
