Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The division $\left( x ^ { 2 } + 17 x + 72 \right) \div ( x + 8 )$ simplifies to $x + 9$ because when you divide the quadratic equation by $x + 8$, the remainder is zero, indicating that $x + 8$ is a factor of the quadratic equation. The result of the division is the other factor, which is $x + 9$.

Divide - (x2+17x+72)÷(x+8)\left( x ^ { 2 } + 17 x + 72 \right) \div ( x + 8 )(x2+17x+72)÷(x+8)

Divide
- $\left( x ^ { 2 } + 17 x + 72 \right) \div ( x + 8 )$
