And now let me just draw my little funky synthetic division operator-looking symbol. And remember, the type of synthetic division we're doing, it only applies when we are dividing by an x plus or minus …

Sal divides (2x^5-x^3+3x^2-2x+7) by (x-3) using synthetic division.

But what we're going to cover in this video is a slightly different technique, and we call it synthetic division. And synthetic division is going to seem like a little bit of voodoo in the context of this video.

Sal explains why synthetic division gives you the same result as traditional algebraic long division. Created by Sal Khan.
