Background & Explanation

At this point you've plenty of practice applying various methods and approaches to manipulating strings and lists in

Python. For this assignment, you will be applying your knowledge of Python's built$-$in functions and control structures to

implement an algebraic algorithm known as Synthetic Dvision.

It's very possible you have not encountered polynomial division yet. We don't expect you to$!$ Imagine dividing two

numbers, except those numbers are polynomial expressions like $\frac{x^2+2x-3}{x+3}.$ When the denominator starts with $\text{'}x\text{'}$ and

it is not raised to a power, we can use this algorithmic simplification to successfully arrive at the quotient and remainder

$($if there is any$).$
