Question 1119658: Question: Describe the process of synthetic division. When is synthetic division not useful for dividing polynomials?
What happens when we divide a polynomial by x? What about x2? What about xn, where n is a positive integer? Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Division either polynomial or synthetic makes sense if divisor is degree less than dividend. Synthetic Division is a condensed form of Polynomial Division and makes checking for possible rational roots of the dividend, especially for linear roots, easier to do.
