Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To divide the given polynomials, let us try to factorize the numberator to see if we can have factors that makes it possible to reduce the denominator to 1.


x^(2)+5x+3=x(x+5)+3

There are no factors that makes it reducible.

So, using long division:


(x^2+5x+3)/(x+6)

Divide x^2 by x, and multiply the result by the denominator, we have:


x(x+6)=x^2+6x

Subtract this result from the numerator:


(x^2+5x+3)-(x^2+6x)=-x+3

Divide -x by x and multiply the result by the denominator, we have:


undefined
