Question 452114: Divide: x^2+5x+7 / x+3
I got the answer x+2 + 1/x+3 but i don't know how
Please show me step by steps to get the answer. Thanks Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use polynomial long division. Too difficult to render on this system, but you can review the process at:
There are two pages on Polynomial Long Division so be sure to read both.
You should get a quotient of x + 2 and a remainder of 1. Recall that when you did integer division -- say, 10 divided by 3, you got a quotient of 3 and a remainder of 1, meaning that the answer was 3 plus 1/3.
Same situation here, it is just that you have a denominator that is your divisor binomial.
