Inventory and Distribution Division

In an inventory cost tracking application, an operations analyst uses the polynomial x47x2+7x+6x^4 - 7x^2 + 7x + 6 to model the total weekly operating costs, and the expression x+3x + 3 to represent the number of active distribution centers. To determine the average cost per distribution center, the analyst calculates the quotient of (x47x2+7x+6)÷(x+3)(x^4 - 7x^2 + 7x + 6) \div (x + 3) using polynomial long division. Recall the exact algebraic expression for the final quotient of this division, including its fractional remainder.
