divison of polynomial

<p>when should i use long-divison and when should i use synthetic-division</p>

<p>whenever the question tells you what to do. otherwise, just pick one and if you cant get it, go with the other. if they give you a root, use synthetic though.</p>

<p>so what ur saying is that i should always rely synthetic division unless i am told otherwise right ?</p>

<p>i think synthetic is good, so yes.</p>

<p>thanx alot</p>
