Question

What is x^2 +2x+1 divides by x-4

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{(x+1 )^{2} }{x-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1. Rewrite $x^{2}$ + 2x + 1 in the form $a^{2}$ + 2ab + $b^{2}$, where a = x and b = 1.

$\frac{x^{2}+2(x)(1)+1^{2} }{x-4}$

Step 2. Use Square of Sum: $(a + b)^{2}$ = $a^{2}$ + 2ab + $b^{2}$

$\frac{(x+1 )^{2} }{x-4}$
