Use the long division method to find the result when x^3+7x^2+12x+6x 3 +7x 2 +12x+6 is divided by x+1x+1. If there is a remainde

Aliun [14]

Answer:

By long division (x³ + 7·x² + 12·x + 6) ÷ (x + 1) gives the expression;

$x^2 + 5 \cdot x + 7 - \dfrac{1}{(x + 1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial that is to be divided by long division is x³ + 7·x² + 12·x + 6

The polynomial that divides the given polynomial is x + 1

Therefore, we have;

$\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ x^2 + 5\cdot x + 7\\ (x + 1) \sqrt{x^3 + 7\cdot x^2 +12\cdot x + 6} \\\ {} \ {} \ {} \ \ {} \ {} \ {} \ {} \ {} \ {} \ {} \ \ x^3 + 2 \cdot x^2 \\\ \ \ \ {} \ \ {} \ {} \ {} \ \ {} \ {} \ \ \ {} \ {} \ {} \ \ {} \ {} \ {} \ \ 5 \cdot x^2 + 12\cdot x + 6\\ \ {} \ {} \ {} \ {} \ {} \ {} \ \ {} \ {} 5 \cdot x^2 + 5\cdot x\\\ 7\cdot x+6\\7\cdot x+7\\-1$
