Question: Perform the indicated divisions. Express the answer as shown in Example 5 when applicable. (x 2 + 9x + 20) (x + 4) Data

Perform the indicated divisions. Express the answer as shown in Example 5 when applicable.

(x2 + 9x + 20) ÷ (x + 4)


Data from Example 5

Perform the division

8x3+4x2+3 4x - 1

Because there is no x-term in the dividend, we should leave space for any x-terms that might arise (which we will show as 0x).


Because the degree of the remainder 2x + 4 is less than that of the divisor, the long division process is complete and the answer is

8x3+4x2+3 4x - 1
