Anyways, I think maybe the best approach here would be to merge useful content onto the other page and create a #redirect link so that either page title will get to the content. Does that seem reasonable? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 23:16, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
 
: Task itself shouldn't need to specify how a polynomial is represented, since growing power in either direction could make sense, so we could just let the code providing the interface choose. I personally would prefer zero-th term in the front because it would make infinite power series possible, but that clearly is not the intended goal here. The real issue is, long division and synthetic division may look different with pen and paper, there doesn't seem to be a meaningful difference in terms of math or computer implementation: one subtracts, the other inverts and adds, that's about it. I agree that this looks like a dup. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] ([[User talk:Ledrug|talk]]) 03:12, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
