Lesson 1: Dividing polynomials by xPolynomial division introduction
When we divide the polynomial p(x) by q(x) we are basically asking "what should we multiply by q(x) to get p(x)?" If this sounds familiar, it's because it's very similar to dividing numbers! In this introduction we see how some quotients end up as a polynomial, while other times we have a remainder and cannot express the quotient as a polynomial. This is very similar to quotients of integers!
