Question

so for x^2+5 divided by x+1 is the remainder x+5?

Answer 1

You should get a single number (not a variable expression) for the remainder. Try again

Answer 2

hint: you can use the remainder theorem
x+1 = x-(-1) is in the form x-k

for any polynomial p(x), if we divide this by x-k, then r = p(k) is our remainder

Answer 3

that was how I did it the first time around
