Synthetic division is a method used to divide polynomials that have a degree higher than one. It is a quicker and more efficient way of dividing than traditional long division.
Synthetic division involves using the coefficients of the polynomial, along with the divisor, to create a simplified table. This table is then used to find the quotient and remainder of the division.
Synthetic division is useful when dividing polynomials with a degree higher than one, and when the divisor is a linear expression (ax + b). It is also helpful when finding the roots of a polynomial.
Synthetic division is generally faster and easier to perform than traditional long division. It also allows for easier identification of the remainder and quotient, and can be used to find the roots of a polynomial.
Yes, synthetic division can only be used for dividing polynomials with a degree higher than one. It also only works when the divisor is a linear expression (ax + b). Additionally, it can only be used for dividing polynomials with real coefficients.
