How (and Why) Synthetic Division of Polynomials Works
Last time, we saw how to divide polynomials using long division, which takes a lot of time and space. For the simplest cases, dividing by a monic linear polynomial \((x-c)\), there is a much more efficient method. We’ll again see both how to do it, and why it works; then we’ll see how it ties …
