did I do this right?

Original Problem:

2x - 3
-------
(x + 3)^2

mult. by

x^2 + 4x + 3
-----------------
4x^2 - 9

so i factored the bottom and got (x+3)(x+3) for the first one and (2x+3)(2x-3) for the second one. when I factored the numerator of the second one, I got (x+1)(x+3). So by cancelling out some factors, I ended up with:

1
------
(x+3)


mult. by

x+1
-------
2x+3


=


x+1
------------
2x^3 + 3x + 6x + 9


which came to

x+1
------------
2x^3 + 9x + 9

Did I do that right?

Yep....except your 2x^3 should be 2x^2 :shock:
