Answer 2

A better explanation on how to do this.

\[(x^3+x^2-16x-15)/x+4\]

You want to set up the division eqn and it is basically like regular long division. Ill go through the first step.
Everything is already written in the correct form, where none of the terms are skipped. For example, if the equation was x^3+x-1)/x+1. You would have to include a 0x^2 term.
Anyways. You just have to find out what you can factor. So step one would be to have x^2 as your first time in the quotient.



You basically repeat this process until you are done or are left with a remainder
