Answer: We will use long division to find the quotient of (x³ - 3x² + 5x + 3) ÷ (x + 1).

x² - 4x + 9

___________________

x + 1 | x³ - 3x² + 5x + 3

- (x³ + x²)

--------------

-4x² + 5x

-(-4x² - 4x)

------------

9x + 3

-(9x + 9)

-------

6

Therefore, the quotient of (x³ - 3x² + 5x + 3) ÷ (x + 1) is x² - 4x + 9 with a remainder of 6.
