Help (x^2+6x+5)/(x+1)?

Question

I figured out that the top is -3 +/- (sqrt)14. At lease I think. But now I am stuck from here

Answer 1

(x^2+6x+5) = (x+1)(x+5)
Now dividing this with (x+1),you get (x+5), provided x is not(-1), because in that case the denominator (x+1) would be 0 and as you know ,division by 0 is undefined!!

Answer 2

factor the numerator to get:
(x+5)(x+1)

the second term in the numerator cancels with the similar one in the denominator leaving you with:

(x+5)

for a final answer.

Answer 3

(x^2+6x+5)/(x+1)= [(x+2)(x+3)]/(x+1)
