  1. not an equation, can&#039;t be solved.

    .


  2. (x+1)(x+3)(x+5)(x+7)(x+9) = Q(x) * (x+2)(x+4) + mx+b

    Let x=-2, (-1)(1)(3)(5)(7) = 0 - 2m+b

    =&gt; 2m-b = 105

    Let x=-4, (-3)(-1)(1)(3)(5) = 0 - 4m+b

    =&gt; 4m-b = -45

    Solve for m and b.

  3. [(x+1)(x+3)(x+5)(x+7)(x+9)]/[(x+2)(x+4)]

    (x+1)(x+3)(x+5)(x+7)(x+9) = f(x) * (x+2)(x+4) + (mx + b)

    for f(-2),

    -1 * 1 * 3 * 5 * 7 = f(-2) * 0 * 2 - 2m + b

    b = 2m - 105

    for f(-4),

    -3 * -1 * 1 * 3 * 5 = f(-4) * (-2) * 0 - 4m + b

    b = 4m + 45

    b = 2m - 105 = 4m + 45

    2m = -105 - 45 = -150

    m = -75

    b = 2*(-75) - 105 = -255

    answer, remainder = -75x - 255
