IV. INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURE
A. Review Last time we’ve discussed the division of polynomial by using Long division.
Now let us recall your knowledge in dividing polynomials.
We already know that the procedure for dividing a polynomial by another polynomial is similar to the procedure used
when dividing whole numbers.
The only difference is that in division of polynomials we also deal with the variables and exponents.
Example:
Any questions? If none, we may now proceed with the next lesson

of the
lesson. Let us have a quick activity.
Groupings
Let us go to the Citrus National High School
Help the visitors to find their way to CNHS, and then post your outputs on the board. (5 minutes)
Did you have fun doing the activity?
(Asked each group of what they can say or think of the activity. Show them on how I found the way to the
beach.)
We love shortcuts! Just like in division of polynomials, we also have shortcut method. And what do we
call the method?
C. Presentation Integration to other Learning Area. English-Define and identify terms related to the lesson.
Coefficient
- numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression
Dividend
- a number to be divided by another number.
Divisor
- a number by which another number is to be divided.
Quotient
- a result obtained by dividing one quantity by another.
Remainder
- an amount left over after dividing a number.
Synthetic division
is a shortcut method for dividing polynomial by a simple binomial of the form (x – r).
- Synthetic division uses only the coefficients of a polynomial

#1 2. Place the value of r in the upper left corner. In this example, x – r = x + 2 = x–(–2), so r = - 2.
3. Bring the first coefficient down below.
4. Multiply the divisor r by the number below the horizontal line, andplace the result above the line below the next
coefficient.
5. Add the column to get the next coefficient in your answer.
6. Repeat the steps 4 and 5, filling each column from left to right untilyou get to the end of the coefficients.
7. Write the quotient. Note that the degree of the quotient is one less than the degree of the dividend. The entries in the
third row give the coefficients of the quotient and the remainder.

Group Activity: Use synthetic division to find the quotient in each of the following.
1. (5x^3 + 3x –8) / (x – 1)
2. (x^4 + 5x^3+ 2x^2 + 7x + 30) / (x + 2)
3. (2x^3 – 54) / (x–3)
G. Finding practical applications of ELABORATE:
concepts and skills in daily living
Ask students to state situations by which they will be able to apply their
knowledge on the Division of Polynomials using Synthetic division.
- The Importance of following/Obeying Rules/Procedures. (e.g.School Rules and
Regulations, Community/National laws., etc.)
H. Making Generalizations and abstractions 1) Synthetic division is a shortcut method for dividing polynomial by a simple binomial of the
about lesson form (x – r).
2) Synthetic division uses only the coefficients of a polynomial.
3) Always remember the equation must be in standard form, and then we follow the steps,
bring down, multiply and add.
V. EVALUATION EVALUATION:
Divide using synthetic division.
1. (x^2+ x – 2) / (x–1)
2. (4x^3 + 5x^2 – 6x – 4) / (x + 2)
VI. ASSIGNMENT Divide using synthetic division.
1. (3x^2+ 7x–20) / (x + 5)
2. (x^4–256) / (x –4)
3. (x^2–5x–5x^3+ x^4+ 5) / (5 + x)
4. (-3x^3+ x^2–208) / (x + 4)
5. (2x^3+ x^2–7x–240) / (x–5)
