👉 Learn about dividing by synthetic division when there is a missing power. Synthetic division is a method of dividing polynomials by linear expressions. To divide using synthetic division, we equate the divisor to 0 and then solve for the variable, the solution for the variable will be the synthetic divisor. In dividing with synthetic division, we set up the coefficients of the dividend polynomial against the synthetic divisor to get the coefficients of the quotient and the remainder.  If there are any missing terms when applying synthetic division we must use a place holder zero in its place. It is also important to make sure your dividend polynomial is in standard form with descending powers.
