Polynomial Long Division Step by Step | Algebra 2

Algebra 2 | Polynomial Long Division How do you divide a polynomial by a binomial using long division? In this clip from Infinity’s Saturday Morning Math Help Live, Caitlyn works through two Algebra 2 polynomial division problems: (2x³ + 5x² - 3x + 6) ÷ (x + 2) and (3x³ - 4x² + 7x - 5) ÷ (x - 2) Mr. Bru explains how to: • Set up polynomial long division correctly • Divide the leading terms • Multiply the divisor by each new quotient term • Subtract carefully and bring down the next term • Repeat the process until the degree of the remainder is smaller than the divisor • Write a final answer that includes a remainder For the first problem: 2x² + x - 5 + 16/(x + 2) For the second problem: 3x² + 2x + 11 + 17/(x - 2) Polynomial long division follows the same basic cycle as ordinary long division: divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down.
