Question

Consider the rational function f(x) = 2x^3 - 4x^2 - 5x + 3 x^2 - 2x - 3. We may use long division on this fraction of polynomials in much the same way as we do fractions of integers, and in so doing express it as f(x) = quotient + (remainder/divisor). Compute the quotient and remainder when 2x^3 - 4x^2 - 5x + 3 is divided by x^2 - 2x - 3: f(x) = + x^2 - 2x - 3.
