Answer:

[tex](x+5)+ \dfrac{2}{x+2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\dfrac{x^2+7x+12}{x+2}[/tex]

Required

Simplify and present your answer in

[tex]p(x)+\dfrac{k}{x+2}[/tex]

First, we need to expand and factorize the numerator:

[tex]\dfrac{x^2+7x+12}{x+2}[/tex]

Express 12 as 10 + 2

[tex]\dfrac{x^2+7x+10+2}{x+2}[/tex]

Split into two using brackets

[tex]\dfrac{(x^2+7x+10)+2}{x+2}[/tex]

Split to two fractions:

[tex]\dfrac{(x^2+7x+10)}{x+2}+\dfrac{2}{x+2}[/tex]

Factorize the numerator of the first fraction

[tex]\dfrac{(x^2+5x+2x+10)}{x+2}+\dfrac{2}{x+2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{x(x+5)+2(x+5)}{x+2}+\dfrac{2}{x+2}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{(x+2)(x+5)}{x+2}+\dfrac{2}{x+2}[/tex]

The first fraction can be simplified to give:

[tex](x+5)+ \dfrac{2}{x+2}[/tex]

Hence, by comparison:

We have simplified the given expression to the required format of:

[tex]p(x)+\dfrac{k}{x+2}[/tex]

Which implies that:

[tex]p(x) = x + 5[/tex] and [tex]k = 2[/tex]
