Answer:


((f)/(g))(x) = (\left(x+1\right)^2\left(x-3\right))/(x + 3)

Explanation:

The question is not properly formatted.

Given


f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3


g(x) =x + 3

Required


((f)/(g))(x)

This is calculated as:


((f)/(g))(x) = (f(x))/(g(x))

So, we have:


((f)/(g))(x) = (x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3)/(x + 3)

Factorize the numerator: using a calculator


((f)/(g))(x) = (\left(x+1\right)^2\left(x-3\right))/(x + 3)
