Express the polynomial in the form p(x) = (x+1) Q(x) +R where (x+1) is the divisor, Q(x) is the quotient and R is the remainder Express the polynomial in the form p(x) = (x+1) Q(x) +R where (x+1) is the divisor, Q(x) is the quotient and R is the remainder, 
Hey I would just like to know how to solve this as the question had me confused I don’t know if I am suppose to do long division on write it out like in the question, thanks 

Put $\,a = -1\,$ in $\ p(x)\, =\, (x-a)\,\dfrac{p(x)-p(a)}{\ x\,-\,a} + p(a),\,$ the Polynomial Remainder Theorem.
The quotient is exact by the Polynomial Factor Theorem, and is computable by the Polynomial Division Algorithm (which also computes the remainder).
