Divide Using Long Polynomial Division (x^2+11x+28)/(x+4)

$\frac{(x^{2} + 11 x + 28)}{(x + 4)}$

Step 1

Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of $0$ .

$x$

$4$

$x^{2}$

$11 x$

$28$

Step 2

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $x^{2}$ by the highest order term in divisor $x$ .

					$x$
	$x$	+	$4$		$x^{2}$	+	$11 x$	+	$28$

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 $x^{2} + 4 x$

Step 5

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

Step 6

Pull the next terms from the original dividend down into the current dividend.

Step 7

Divide the highest order term in the dividend $7 x$ by the highest order term in divisor $x$ .

Step 8

Multiply the new quotient term by the divisor.

Step 9

The expression needs to be subtracted from the dividend, so change all the signs in $7 x + 28$

Step 10

After changing the signs, add the last dividend from the multiplied polynomial to find the new dividend.

Step 11

Since the remander is $0$ , the final answer is the quotient.

$x + 7$
