Extension of Synthetic Division and Its Applications
Abstract
This study focused on \enquote{Extension of synthetic division and its applications}. The study was designed to show synthetic division and its extension and to point out the applications of synthetic division and its extension. The study found out that the concepts of polynomial and rational expressions in single variables are basic concepts to deal extension of synthetic division and its applications. Using the preliminary concepts, the concept of synthetic division is extended in this study. Also, the study found out that an extension of synthetic division is used for finding the oblique asymptote of the graph of a rational function, evaluating the integration of some rational functions, representing polynomial expression by factorial function in numerical analysis, and so on.
