Division of Polynomials § 4.6
dividend divisor 3t 1. Divide 6t 2 by 2t. Write the quotient above the term containing the t. 6t2 + 15t 2. Multiply the 3t by 2t + 5. Write the product under the like terms. -16t - 40 3. Subtract. Bring down the remaining term. Dividing Polynomials To divide a polynomial by a polynomial, use the same method as when performing long division. Continued.
3t - 8 6t2 +15t -16t - 40 4. Repeat, using the first term in the bottom row: -16t 2t = - 8 -16t- 40 0 Check your answer using the FOIL method. Dividing Polynomials Example continued:
