I don't understand how to do this. Convert (x^2+3x+1)/(x+2) to a mixed number.

Divide x + 2 into x^2 + 3x + 1, longhand. The mixed number is: Quotient + Remainder/Divisor If you need lessons on how to divide one polynomial by another, google keywords: polynomial long division Watch a short video; read through some examples. I welcome specific questions.
