Chapter 6Rational Expressions and Equations

• Section 6.5
• Synthetic Division

39
Part 1
Dividing using Synthetic
Division
Objective Use synthetic division to find the
quotient of certain polynomials

• Algorithm
• A systematic procedure for doing certain
  computations.
• The Division Algorithm used in section 6.4 can be
  shortened if the divisor is a linear polynomial
• Synthetic Division

Part 1
Dividing using Synthetic
Division
EXAMPLE 1
To see how synthetic division works, we will use
long division to divide the polynomial
by

Synthetic Division
There is a shortcut for long division as long as
the divisor is x k where k is some number.

This is the remainder
Put variables back in (one x was divided out in
process so first number is one less power than
original problem).
List all coefficients (numbers in front of x's)
and the constant along the top. If a term is
missing, put in a 0.
So the answer is

Now put variables back in (remember one x was
divided out in process so first number is one

List all coefficients (numbers in front of x's)

0's for missing terms.
So the answer is

Let's try a problem where we factor the
polynomial completely given one of its factors.
You want to divide the factor into the polynomial
so set divisor 0 and solve for first number.

List all coefficients (numbers in front of x's)

So the answer is the divisor times the quotient
You could check this by multiplying them out and
getting original polynomial

6-6 Solving Rational Equation
. . . And Why To solve problems using rational
equations
50
To solve a rational equation, we multiply both
sides by the LCD to clear fractions.

Multiplying by the LCD
Multiplying to remove parentheses

53
The LCD is x - 5, We multiply by x - 5 to clear
fractions
5 is not a solution of the original equation
because it results in division by 0, Since 5 is
the only possible solution, the equation has no
solution.
54
No Solution
y 57
55
The LCD is x - 2. We multiply by x - 2.
56
The number -2 is a solution, but 2 is not since
it results in division by O.

Jorge Martinez is making a business trip by car.
After driving half the total distance, he finds
he has averaged only 20 mi/h, because of numerous
traffic tie-ups. What must be his average speed
for the second half of the trip if he is to
average 40 mi/h for the entire trip? Answer this
question using the following method.

1. Let d represent the distance Jorge has traveled
   so far, and let r represent his average speed for
   the remainder of the trip. Write a rational
   function, in terms of d and r, that gives the
   total time Jorges trip will take.
