High School · Arithmetic with Polynomials and Rational Expressions
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.APR.D.6
Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write <sup>a(x </sup>/<sub>b(x)</sub> in the form q(x) + <sup>r(x)</sup>/<sub>b(x)</sub>, where a(x), b(x), q(x), and r(x) are polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system.

- Dividing Polynomials: Long Division and Synthetic Division
How polynomial long division mirrors division of numbers, how to write a quotient as q(x) + r(x)/b(x), and why synthetic division is a shortcut for dividing by x − a.
