More on Dividing Polynomials



Today you have 2 theorems that will be helpful in SOLVING polynomials that have degree higher than 2. Please take good notes and we will do more examples tomorrow. This can be pretty tricky the first time. So read carefully, pay attention and be ready for tomorrow to continue.

Slide 8 & 9 were a mistake on my part: After you did synthetic division you should have gotten x^2+11x+10 not -10.. and then you can use quadratic formula or factoring to get -10 & -1. So the 3 solutions should be -1,-1,-10
