Answer

$x^3-4x^2+16x-64+\frac{272}{x+4}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $(x^4+16)\div(x+4)$ Rewrite as $(x^4+0x^3+0x^2+0x+16)\div(x+4)$ The value of $c$ is $-4$. Use synthetic division $\begin{matrix} -4) &1&0&0&0&16 \\ & &-4&16&-64&256 \\ & --&--&--& --&--\\ & 1&-4&16&-64&272 ​\end{matrix}$ The quotient is $x^3-4x^2+16x-64$ and the remainder is $272$. The answer is $\Rightarrow Quotient + \frac{Remainder}{Divisor}$ $\Rightarrow x^3-4x^2+16x-64+\frac{272}{x+4}$.
