Lesson 1: Dividing polynomials by xDividing polynomials by x (no remainders)
Discover how to divide polynomials by 'x' in two different ways. Finding the quotient (x⁴-2x³+5x)/x is the same as asking "what should we multiply by x to get x⁴-2x³+5x?" First, we distribute '1/x' to each term in the polynomial. Second, we factor out an 'x' from each term. Both methods simplify complex expressions,.
