Given that f(x)=x2+14x+45f(x)=x^{2}+14 x+45 and g(x)=x+9g(x)=x+9, find f(x)÷g(x)f(x) \div g(x) and express the result as a polynomial in simplest form.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given two polynomials: f(x)=x2+14x+45 f(x) = x^2 + 14x + 45 and g(x)=x+9 g(x) = x + 9 .
2. We need to perform polynomial division to find f(x)g(x) \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} .
3. The result should be expressed as a polynomial in simplest form.

STEP 2

1. Set up the polynomial division f(x)g(x) \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} .
2. Perform the polynomial division step-by-step.
3. Simplify the result to obtain the quotient polynomial.

STEP 3

Set up the polynomial division:
x2+14x+45x+9 \frac{x^2 + 14x + 45}{x + 9}

STEP 4

Determine how many times the leading term of g(x) g(x) divides into the leading term of f(x) f(x) :
x2x=x \frac{x^2}{x} = x

STEP 5

Multiply x x by g(x) g(x) and subtract from f(x) f(x) :
x(x+9)=x2+9x x \cdot (x + 9) = x^2 + 9x (x2+14x+45)(x2+9x)=5x+45 (x^2 + 14x + 45) - (x^2 + 9x) = 5x + 45

STEP 6

Repeat the process with the new polynomial 5x+45 5x + 45 :
5xx=5 \frac{5x}{x} = 5

STEP 7

Multiply 5 5 by g(x) g(x) and subtract from the remaining polynomial:
5(x+9)=5x+45 5 \cdot (x + 9) = 5x + 45 (5x+45)(5x+45)=0 (5x + 45) - (5x + 45) = 0

STEP 8

Combine the results of the division:
x2+14x+45x+9=x+5 \frac{x^2 + 14x + 45}{x + 9} = x + 5
Solution: f(x)g(x)=x+5 \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = x + 5
