6x^2+19x+3/x+3
How do u divide this
**
You can divide by long division or synthetic division if the numerator is not factorable.
In this case the numerator is factorable if you work at it long enough.
..
6x^2+19x+3/x+3
(x+3)(6x+1)/(x+3)
(x+3) cancels out, leaving (6x+1) as the quotient
note: the numerator is not one of the easiest to factor. I cheated and used a graphing calculator.
