Answer

$\frac{t^3+3 t^2-12 t+16}{t+3}=t^2-12+\frac{52}{t+3}$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \left(t^3+3 t^2-12 t+16\right) \div(t+3). \end{aligned} \end{equation} Use synthetic division. \begin{equation} \begin{array}{r|rrrr} -3&1 & 3 & -12& 16 \\ & & -3 & 0& 36 \\ \hline & 1 & 0 & -12& 52 \end{array} \end{equation} The solution is \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} \frac{t^3+3 t^2-12 t+16}{t+3}=t^2-12+\frac{52}{t+3}. \end{aligned} \end{equation}
