Find the Quotient (x^2+8x+18)/(x+3)

$\frac{x^{2} + 8 x + 18}{x + 3}$

Step 1

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

$x$

$3$

$x^{2}$

$8 x$

$18$

Step 2

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

					$x$
	$x$	+	$3$		$x^{2}$	+	$8 x$	+	$18$

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 $x^{2} + 3 x$

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 $5 x$ 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 $5 x + 15$

Step 10

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

Step 11

The quotient is $x + 5$ .

$x + 5$
