LONG POLYNOMIAL DIVISION

x2 + 9x -10
x+1
1.) First, I'll set up the division, putting the dividend (the thing being
divided into) inside and the divisor (the thing doing the dividing)
outside and to the left:

2.) Look at the leading x of the divisor and the leading x2 of the
dividend: x2 divided by x, the answer is an x. So put an x on top of
the division symbol, right above the x2 inside:
3.) Now, multiply that x on top through the divisor, x + 1. First, multiply
the x (on top) by the x (on the "side"), and carry the resulting x2
underneath, putting it directly below the x2 from the dividend:

4.) Then I'll multiply the x (on top) by the 1 (on the "side"), and carry the
1x underneath, putting it directly below the –9x in the dividend:

5.) Subtract the polynomials. First, change all the signs in the second line.
The first term (the x2) will cancel out (by design), while the –9x – 1x
becomes –10x. Then, carry down the last term from the dividend:

6.) Look at the x from the divisor and the new leading term, the –10x, in
the bottom line of the division. Divide the –10x by the x, would end
up with a –10, so I'll put that on top, right above the –9x:
 7.) Repeat the step no. 3 to step no.

ANSWER: x - 10

In the case of the above polynomial division, the

zero remainder tells us that x + 1 is a factor of x2 –
9x – 10, which you can confirm by factoring the
original quadratic dividend, x2 – 9x – 10. Any time
you get a zero remainder, the divisor is a factor of
the dividend.
