A polynomial is two or more monomial numbers that are linked together in an equation by an addition sign (+), subtraction sign (-) or a multiplication sign (x). In this quiz, we will be dealing with dividing a polynomial by a monomial - a number that stands on its own.

Let’s look at the following example of a polynomial divided by a monomial.

1.
(78x2 + 52x2) ÷ (13x2)
6x2 + 4x2
6 + 4 = 10
6x2 + 4x2 = 10x4
6x4 + 4x4 = 10x8
(78x2 + 52x2) ÷ (13x2)
78x2 ÷ 13x2 = 6
52x2 ÷ 13x2 = 4
Solution: 6 + 4 = 10
Answer (b) is the correct solution. (Did you remember to subtract your exponents?) In addition, this problem has a final answer of 10 as 6 and 4 are “like” numbers
2.
(99x9 + 72x4 + 36x2) ÷ (9x)
11x10 + 8x5 + 4x3
11x8 + 8x3 + 4x
11x8 + 8x3 + 4x3
11x9 + 8x4 + 4x2
(99x9 + 72x4 + 36x2) ÷ (9x)
99x9 ÷ 9x = 11x8
72x4 ÷ 9x = 8x3
36x2 ÷ 9x = 4x
Solution: 11x8 + 8x3 + 4x
Answer (b) is the correct solution. (Did you remember to subtract your exponents?)
3.
(64x8 + 40x6) ÷ (8x3)
8x5 + 5x3
8x5 + 5x3 + 8x3
8x11 + 5x9
8x24 + 5x18
(64x8 + 40x6) ÷ (8x3)
64x8 ÷ 8x3 = 8x5
40x6 ÷ 8x3 = 5x3
Solution: 8x5 + 5x3
Answer (a) is the correct solution. (Did you remember to subtract your exponents?)
4.
(57x6 + 111x5 - 15x4) ÷ (3x4)
19x2 + 37x + 5
19x2 + 37x - 5x
19x2 + 37x - 5
19x2 + 37x + 5x
(57x6 + 111x5 - 15x4) ÷ (3x4)
57x6 ÷ 3x4 = 19x2
111x5 ÷ 3x4 = 37x
-15x4 ÷ 3x4 = -5
Solution: 19x2 + 37x - 5
Answer (c) is the correct solution. (Did you remember to subtract your exponents?)
5.
(62x8 + 28x5) ÷ (-2x2)
(-31x6) + (-14x3)
31x6 + 14x3
(31x6) - (14x3)
(-31x10) + (-14x7)
(62x8 + 28x5) ÷ (-2x2)
62x8 ÷ (-2x2) = -31x6
28x5 ÷ (-2x2) = -14x3
Solution: (-31x6) + (-14x3)
(In order to not confuse anyone between the divide symbol and the negative value of 2, parentheses are placed around the negative value monomial.)
Answer (a) is the correct solution. (Did you remember to subtract your exponents?)
6.
(45x5 + 35x3) ÷ (-5x)
(-9x6) + (-7x4)
9x6 + 7x4
9x4 + 7x2
(-9x4) + (-7x2)
(45x5 + 35x3) ÷ (-5x)
45x5 ÷ (-5x) = -9x4
35x3 ÷ (-5x) = -7x2
Solution: (-9x4) + (-7x2)
(In order to not confuse anyone between the divide symbol and the negative value of 5, parentheses are placed around the negative value monomial.)
Answer (d) is the correct solution. (Did you remember to subtract your exponents?)
7.
x3 + 18x2 + 12x) ÷ (6x)
4x2 + 3x2 + 2
4x2 + 3x2 + 2x
4x2 + 3x + 2
4x + 3x + 2x
(24x3 + 18x2 + 12x) ÷ (6x)
24x3 ÷ 6x = 4x2
18x2 ÷ 6x = 3x
12x ÷ 6x = 2
Solution: 4x2 + 3x + 2
Answer (c) is the correct solution. (Did you remember to subtract your exponents?)
8.
(28x6 + 21x3 + 14x) ÷ (7x)
4x6 + 3x3 + 2x
4x5 + 3x2 + 2
4x5 + 3x + 2
4x + 3x2 + 2x
(28x6 + 21x3 + 14x) ÷ (7x)
28x6 ÷ 7x = 4x5
21x3 ÷ 7x = 3x2
14x ÷ 7x = 2
Solution: 4x5 + 3x2 + 2
Answer (b) is the correct solution. (Did you remember to subtract your exponents?)
9.
(96x2 - 36x2) ÷ (12x)
8x3 - 3x3 = 5x3
8x + 3x = 11x
8x - 3x = 5x
8x3 + 3x3 = 11x3
(96x2 - 36x2) ÷ (12x)
96x2 ÷ 12x = 8x
-36x2 ÷ 12x = -3x
Solution: 8x - 3x = 5x
Answer (c) is the correct solution. (Did you remember to subtract your exponents?) In addition, this problem has a final answer of 5x as 8x and 3x are “like” numbers
10.
(50x6 + 30x5 - 20x) ÷ (10x)
5x5 + 3x4 - 2x2
5x5 + 3x4 - 2x
5x5 + 3x4 + 2
5x5 + 3x4 - 2
(50x6 + 30x5 - 20x) ÷ (10x)
50x6 ÷ 10x = 5x5
30x5 ÷ 10x = 3x4
-20x ÷ 10x = -2
Solution: 5x5 + 3x4 - 2
Answer (d) is the correct solution. (Did you remember to subtract your exponents?)
