(x^2 + x - 6) (remainder 0).

If a polynomial (P(x)) is divided by (x - c), the remainder is (P(c)).

Remainder: The leftover piece that cannot be divided further. Method 1: Polynomial Long Division

( 7x^2 - 5x )

Forgetting to subtract the entire product.

Long division for polynomials follows the same pattern as numerical long division. Remember the mnemonic: (x^2 + x - 6) (remainder 0)

The bottom row (3, 2, 6, 11) means quotient ( 3x^2 + 2x + 6 ), remainder 11.

, add it to the next coefficient, and repeat this "multiply-and-add" cycle across the row. The Result : The final number in the bottom row is the , while the preceding numbers are the coefficients of the Use Canvas to save, edit, and share your

: Multiply the divisor by the new quotient term, write the result under the dividend, and subtract.

⚠️ If the divisor is ( x + 3 ), rewrite as ( x - (-3) ), so ( c = -3 ).
