The inputs above will be hidden when the program finally gets launched. Currently, I am not hiding them even when you close the calculator. The purpose of the inputs is to help in debugging. This allows you to enter simple code on the calculator screen but the program translates the input to javascript math. Give it a try and see if you notice any obvious problems or have suggestions for improvements.

Accuracy Disclaimer

The javascript math object methods used for this calculator are not accurate for very large or very small numbers. In particular, the trigonometric functions may yield very small answers that should actually be zero or very large answers that should be infinite. This typically occurs at 90° or pi/2 intervals.

DO NOT USE WHERE HIGH PRECISION IS REQUIRED. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Remainder and Factor Theorem

The synthetic division template may be used to find the depressed polynomial and remainder but you may also solve using alternative methods.

When using the sythetic division template, hit ENTER after each input to move to the next logical cell. Correct answers will move you ahead, incorrect answers are highlighted in red and require correction before you advance to the next input cell.

Given: f(x) =

g(x) =

Divide f(x) by g(x); i.e. f(x) / g(x)

What is the resulting depressed polynomial:

Is g(x) a factor of f(x) ?
