hmmm, the quotient will be that part without the remainder attached to it ... can you find the remainder like we did last time? x+1 = 0 when x=-1, so find the value of the expression when x=-1

OpenStudy (amistre64):

P(x) = (x+1) Q(x) + R to find R, we need to zero out the other part ... x+1 = 0 when x=-1 P(-1) = (-1+1) Q(-1) + R P(-1) = R, we can then determine when option has the R parts attached to see the Q(x) that we are looking for

OpenStudy (amistre64):

... P(-1) = 0 so we cant deduce an option from that :/ it has to start with a 2x^2 and end with a +3 then which they both do ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

try multiplying the first option by (x+1) ... (2x^2+2x+3)(x+1) if we get the expression then we can pick that one, if not, then its the second one

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2x^3 +2x^2 +3x 2x^2 +2x +3 ------------------- 4x^2 is not in the original so we can ignore this one

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2x^3 -2x^2 +3x 2x^2 -2x +3 ------------------- 0x^2 +x thats got all the right parts

id go with B yes
