Dividing Polynomials by Monomials

Need a unique approach to adding and subtracting polynomials? A helpful math lesson approaches the concept by relating polynomials to base 10. It encourages pupils to see each term as having a specific value, and therefore,...

What works for a binomial also works for a trinomial. The short video shows how to divide a polynomial by a monomial by breaking up the polynomial into its individual terms. Examples consist of a binomial and a trinomial divided by a...

Let's think about how a person could simplify an expression where a polynomial is divided by a monomial. Sal shares three different modes he could use to simplify, then uses each way to solve the same problem.

Divide two polynomial expressions by writing the problem as a fraction or as long division. Sal shows how to use long division to divide polynomials. A solid understanding of polynomial operations is necessary to grasp this video.

Is there a limit on terms? The video introduces polynomials by first defining terms. The presenter goes on to discuss the degree of polynomials and the conventional way of writing polynomials in decreasing degree. Topics include...

Go ahead and divide as if nothing is missing. The video shows the long division process using a cubic polynomial with no missing terms being divided by a linear binomial. Pupils see how to write the remainder within the quotient.

Without ever relying on the FOIL trick, this presentation carefully walks young algebrists through multiplying binomials by a monomial and by each other. Examples start easy, but move into complicated pairings of coefficients, positives...

This overview of polynomial operations does a solid job of summarizing how a mathematician attacks adding, subtracting, and multiplying polynomials. With particular emphasis on combining like terms and when exponents do and do not...

Getting the vocabulary straight is the first step to understanding polynomials. The video provides the basic vocabulary to describe polynomials. The resource links the vocabulary to the classification of polynomials both by degree...

Common difference? Sounds like an oxymoron. It's a math term used to describe a pattern that may occur between a series of numbers. Watch this video and the instructor will explain what the term means as it is applied to an arithmetic...
