Quotient of (x³ + 6x² + 11x + 6) ÷ (x² + 4x + 3)

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

The result we get when we divide one polynomial by another is called the quotient. The quotient is a polynomial or a simplified expression, depending on the polynomials involved. We will learn about the quotient of (x³ + 6x² + 11x + 6) ÷ (x² + 4x + 3) below.

What is the Quotient of (x³ + 6x² + 11x + 6) ÷ (x² + 4x + 3)?

To find the quotient of (x³ + 6x² + 11x + 6) ÷ (x² + 4x + 3), we can follow the steps given below. These steps make the polynomial division process simple.

 

Step 1: Divide the first term of the dividend (x³) by the first term of the divisor (x²) to get the first term of the quotient, which is x.

 

Step 2: Multiply the entire divisor (x² + 4x + 3) by this term (x) and subtract the result from the original dividend (x³ + 6x² + 11x + 6).

 

Step 3: The new polynomial becomes 2x² + 7x + 6.

 

Step 4: Repeat the process: Divide 2x² by x² to get 2, multiply the divisor by 2, and subtract from the current polynomial.

 

Step 5: The remainder is x. So the quotient is x + 2 with a remainder of x.

 

Step 6: The complete division statement is: (x³ + 6x² + 11x + 6) = (x² + 4x + 3)(x + 2) + x.
