Answer

$3x^2+5x+4$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \left(3 x^3+14 x^2+19 x+12\right) \div(x+3) \end{aligned} \end{equation} Use synthetic division. \begin{equation} \begin{array}{r|rrrr} -3&3 & 14 & 19& 12 \\ & & -9 & -15& -12 \\ \hline & 3 & 5 & 4& 0 \end{array} \end{equation} The solution is \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \frac{3 x^3+14 x^2+19 x+12}{x+3}= 3x^2+5x+4 \end{aligned} \end{equation}
