The value of x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x + 7 divided by x- 2 is (x^2 + 5x + 8) + 23/(x - 2)
<h3>What is a quotient?</h3>
Quotients involve the result of dividing a dividend by a divisor.
In other words, quotient means division or the result of a division operation
<h3>How to solve the quotient?</h3>
The quotient expression is given as:
(x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x + 7)/x- 2
Expand the numerator in the above expression
(x^3 + 5x^2 - 2x^2 + 8x - 10x - 16 + 23)/(x - 2)
Rearrange the terms of the numerator in the above expression
(x^3 + 5x^2 + 8x - 2x^2 - 10x - 16 + 23)/(x- 2)
Factorize the numerator in the above expression
[x(x^2 + 5x + 8) - 2(x^2 + 5x + 8) + 23]/(x - 2)
Factor out x^2 + 5x + 8
[(x -2)(x^2 + 5x + 8) + 23]/(x - 2)
Split the fractions
(x -2)(x^2 + 5x + 8)/(x - 2) + 23/(x - 2)
Divide the common factors
(x^2 + 5x + 8) + 23/(x - 2)
Hence, the value of x^3 + 3x^2 - 2x + 7 divided by x- 2 is (x^2 + 5x + 8) + 23/(x - 2)
