How do we divide polynomials ?

A polynomial is an mathematical expression with terms and constants. Follow these steps if you want to learn how to divide a polynomial : 




Step 1 : if not factored already , factor your expression .

Step 2 : Eliminate similar  terms . ( EX. ( 2x-6) and ( 2x-6) these will cancel out because they are alike.) 

DONE ! 

Example : 

(X²+2x+1)        (X+1) (X+1)
                    =                       
    (X+1)                    (X+1)

Final Answer : ( X+1)
