Therefore, the final answer is 4x24x+4+8x+1.

Steps

Step 1 :We have the fraction 4x34x2+4x+122x+2. We can rewrite this as a polynomial division problem: 4x34x2+4x+12 divided by 2x+2.

Step 2 :We can simplify the divisor 2x+2 to x+1 by factoring out 2.

Step 3 :Now we perform polynomial long division. The first term of the quotient q(x) is 4x2, because 4x3 divided by x is 4x2.

Step 4 :Subtract 4x2(x+1) from 4x34x2 to get the new dividend 4x2+4x+12.

Step 5 :The next term of the quotient is 4x, because 4x2 divided by x is 4x.

Step 6 :Subtract 4x(x+1) from 4x2+4x+12 to get the new dividend 4x+12.

Step 7 :The next term of the quotient is 4, because 4x divided by x is 4.

Step 8 :Subtract 4(x+1) from 4x+12 to get the new dividend 8.

Step 9 :Since the degree of the new dividend 8 is less than the degree of the divisor x+1, we stop here. The remainder r(x) is 8.

Step 10 :So, the original fraction can be rewritten as q(x)+r(x)d(x), which is 4x24x+4+8x+1.

Step 11 :Therefore, the final answer is 4x24x+4+8x+1.
