Let’s solve each polynomial long division problem one by one, and write the remainder in fractional form as requested.

We perform polynomial long division:
```
3k + 37
_______________
k - 9 ) 3k² + 10k - 9
3k² - 27k
----------
37k - 9
37k - 333
---------
324
```
✔ Quotient: `3k + 37`
✔ Remainder: `324`
➡️ Answer in fractional form:
> `3k + 37 + 324/(k - 9)`
---
Note: The dividend is `-3y² + 0y + 6`.
```
-3y - 12
_______________
y - 4 ) -3y² + 0y + 6
-3y² + 12y
----------
-12y + 6
-12y + 48
---------
-42
```
✔ Quotient: `-3y - 12`
✔ Remainder: `-42`
➡️ Answer in fractional form:
> `-3y - 12 - 42/(y - 4)`
*(Note: We write the negative remainder as subtracting a positive fraction.)*
---
```
z - 27
_______________
z + 8 ) z² - 19z - 11
z² + 8z
--------
-27z - 11
-27z - 216
-----------
205
```
✔ Quotient: `z - 27`
✔ Remainder: `205`
➡️ Answer in fractional form:
> `z - 27 + 205/(z + 8)`
---
⚠️ Wait — the dividend says `-b² + 16b²`, which simplifies to `15b²`. Probably a typo? But let’s assume it’s written correctly:
→ Dividend: `-b² + 16b² - 13b + 5 = 15b² - 13b + 5`
Now divide `(15b² - 13b + 5) ÷ (b + 4)`
```
15b - 73
_______________
b + 4 ) 15b² - 13b + 5
15b² + 60b
----------
-73b + 5
-73b - 292
---------
297
```
✔ Quotient: `15b - 73`
✔ Remainder: `297`
➡️ Answer in fractional form:
> `15b - 73 + 297/(b + 4)`
---
Again, check the dividend: `2h² + 13h² = 15h²` → So dividend is `15h² - 14h + 4`
Divide `(15h² - 14h + 4) ÷ (h + 3)`
```
15h - 59
_______________
h + 3 ) 15h² - 14h + 4
15h² + 45h
----------
-59h + 4
-59h - 177
---------
181
```
✔ Quotient: `15h - 59`
✔ Remainder: `181`
➡️ Answer in fractional form:
> `15h - 59 + 181/(h + 3)`
---
Wait — this is identical to problem #3!
Same dividend and divisor.
So we already solved it:
✔ Quotient: `z - 27`
✔ Remainder: `205`
➡️ Answer in fractional form:
> `z - 27 + 205/(z + 8)`
---
## ✔ Final Answers (in fractional form):
1) `3k + 37 + 324/(k - 9)`
2) `-3y - 12 - 42/(y - 4)`
3) `z - 27 + 205/(z + 8)`
4) `15b - 73 + 297/(b + 4)`
5) `15h - 59 + 181/(h + 3)`
6) `z - 27 + 205/(z + 8)`
---
📌 Note on Problems 4 & 5: The dividends had redundant terms (`-b² + 16b²`, `2h² + 13h²`). I simplified them assuming they were meant to be combined. If you meant something else (e.g., a typo), please clarify!
