Have you ever been asked to divide two polynomials? The answer is likely “yes” if you’ve taken an Algebra course.

If you’re familiar with polynomial long division, you know that it can be a laborious process. Fortunately, there’s a faster way if your divisor is a linear factor of the form x – a. Synthetic division involves a simple set-up that can help you divide a polynomial by a linear divisor in a matter of seconds, without having to go through long division. Curious to find out more?
