Long Division of Polynomials – How to Perform Polynomial Long Division
In this video, I demonstrate how to do long division on polynomials through 3 complete examples. Two of the examples involve dividing by a linear expression (although synthetic division could be used, I illustrate the long division method instead), and the third example involves dividing by a quadratic expression.
Throughout the video, I emphasize how to handle missing terms in the polynomial by filling them in to make everything “line up” properly during the long division process. While you might not use long division of polynomials frequently, it’s a valuable technique to know and can be incredibly handy when needed. Even if you forget the procedure, this video will be here to give you a quick refresher. 🙂
What you’ll learn:
How to perform polynomial long division step-by-step.
The differences between dividing by linear and quadratic expressions.
How to handle missing terms in polynomials.
Why this method remains useful in certain situations, even when synthetic division is faster.
