Divide a Polynomial by a Monomial
Long division can be used to divide a polynomial by another polynomial, in this case a binomial of lower degree. When dividing polynomials, we set up the problem the same way as any long division problem, but are careful of terms with zero coefficients. For example, in the polynomial x3 + 3x + 1, x2 has a coefficient of zero and needs to be included as x3+ 0x2+3x+1in the division problem.
