Synthetic division is used for the division of polynomials.

Don't get scared because it says it's college algebra. It's high school algebra.
It's no longer working online so you may want to download it.

FASCINATING. IT WAS A BIT HARD TO GRASP AT FIRST, AND IT ONLY SEEMS TO WORK WHEN DOWNLOADED, BUT STILL THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PROJECT.
Thank you. That's strange... It used to work online. Oh well.
In response to your post on my forum thread, if you name the sprites, for example, Sprite1, Sprite2, Sprite3 and so on, you could do go to (or point towards) (join (Sprite) (pick random (1) to (25) ). I remember it was on some project that was either chosen or featured, but I forget who it was by. I give credit to whoever made it.
Thanks so much! I never would have thought of that.
(view all replies)Look cool. The url did not work for me. A simplae explanation is necessary for it to be used. I could not fihure it out;=<
Yes, perhaps I will. Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't realize it was not a more widely taught method.
Yeah... I know most Scratchers won't get it. I just made it for fun and for the few who do know synthetic division. I don't expect it to get a lot of attention.
(view all replies)Strange that the url doesn't work for you. Just google "college algebra synthetic division" and that explanation will be the 1st entry.
(view all replies)Do you mean the link I gave for the explanation of synthetic division didn't work or the explanation made no sense or something else? The link works for me and it was the best I could find on the web. By "I could not figure it out" do you mean you could not figure out how to work the calculator or you could not understand what it is for (synthetic division). I'll give a little more background in my notes. Thanks for the feedback. I'll try to make it more clear.
(view all replies)I have no idea synthetic division is but I'm sure it works and it is well formatted and easy to use. The ask bubbles don't go away though.
And you were right! I changed it and it works! Thanks!
(view all replies)Thanks. I'll try it out. It's a bummer that projects act differently online than offline. I didn't even notice the missing "what" in your comment. :)
Yeah... It doesn't do that offline. Do you know of a way to fix it?
