3. Compare your answers in problems 1 and 2. What can you say about the
coefficients of the quotients (answers) for each?
6. Discuss whether every polynomial long division problem matches exactly with
a numerical long division problem. Give an example to support your
response.

4. Use the pattern from Problem 3 to write the quotient for x 9 1 divided by x
1 without doing the division.
5. Explain how to find the quotient of (x4 7x3 + 9x2 22x + 25) divided by (x
6).
6. Can you find the quotient of (60 16y2 + y4) divided by (10 y2) using
synthetic division? What conditions must be met in order to use synthetic
division?

2.
Use the Lattice/Box method to divide (x4 + 4x3 + 3x2 + 4x + 2) by (x2 + 1).
3. Now look at your boxes for Problems 1 and 2. Can you make a conjecture
about the number of rows and columns you will need to perform the division?
How can you predict how many rows and how many columns you will need in
your box? (*Hint: Look at the degrees of your dividend and divisor).
4. Now test your conjecture from Problem 3. Create your table first with the
number of rows and columns you believe you need, then use it to divide (3x 5
2x4 + 6x3 4x2 24x + 16) by (x2 + 4).
