Divide (x^3+6x^2+11x+6)÷(x^2+4x+3)
Step 1
Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of .
+++++
Step 2
Divide the highest order term in the dividend by the highest order term in divisor .
+++++
Step 3
Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.
+++++
+++
Step 4
The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in
+++++
