(y^2 - y + 2)/(y + 2)

I put this in calc101 . com and I got an answer with y - 3 in the quotient and got 8 in thr remainder area. My answer key says the answer is y - 3 + 8/y + 2. Can someone explain how the answer key has this answer?

1 answer

sure

(5) /2 = 2 Remainder 1
which is exactly the same as
2 1/2

That is really what "remainder means" .
