Answer:


x^2+11x+16=(x+3)(x+8)-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the following (Division algorithm)

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder


x^2+11x+16=x^2+11x+24-8\\=(x^2+8x+3x+24)-8\\=[x(x+8)+3(x+8)]-8\\=(x+3)(x+8)-8\,\,\,(i)

Here,

Dividend =
x^2+11x+16

Divisor =
x+3

Quotient =
x+8

Remainder =
-8
