Synthetic Division for Rectangle Width

1) The document provides examples of using synthetic division to divide polynomials and find missing dimensions of geometric shapes given certain information. 2) One example finds the width of a rectangle given its area as a polynomial of 4x^4 - 4x^3 - 85x^2 + 163x - 60 and the length is x + 5. The width is found to be x - 5. 3) Another example finds the number of hours traveled given the distance is a polynomial and the rate is kph. The number of hours is found to be 6 - 13x - 5x^2.

A rectangle with a length of x + 5 cm
has an area of 4x4 – 4x3 – 85x2 + 163x –
60 sq.cm. Write a polynomial that
represents its width.
What is the formula for the area of rectangle?

Quotient:
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is cm.
Joseph traveled a distance of kilometers at rate of
kph. Write a polynomial that represents the number
of hours traveled.
Distance = Rate (Time)
