2. Discussion
Two students will be asked to answer the
same problem on the board. One student
will find the remainder using synthetic
division and the other student will evaluate
the given polynomial.
Given:
(2x³ - 8x² + 19x – 12) ÷ (x – 3) Student 1:
3 2 -8 19 -12
6 -6 39
2 -2 13 27
R = 27
Student 2:
P(3)= 2(3)3 – 8(3)2 + 19(3) – 12
P(3)= 54 – 72 + 57 – 12
P(3)= 27
From the two methods, what have you The remainder and the value of P(3) are the
observed? same.
3. Application
Let’s try more examples using synthetic
division and Remainder Theorem. -5 1 8 13 -10
