how do you synthetic division with poynomials

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you have to own a fog machine first

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or at least have something of a poly to play with ......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant polynomials srry

OpenStudy (amistre64):

spose you have a poly:\[f(x)=ax^n+bx^{n-1}+cx^{n-2}+...+mx^3+nx^2+px+q\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its important to have a poly that has all the parts; if anythings missing, zero it for a placeholder

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the rest is learning the pattern of add and multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i get it now thanks so much

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (amistre64):
