Use long division to find the quotient Q(x) and the remainder R(x) when P(x) is divided by d(x).
P(x)= x^4+2x^3-2x+4
d(x)= x-2

You need to set it up like this, note the 0x^2:
:......____________________________
(x-2) | x^4 + 2x^3 + 0x^2 - 2x + 4
:
Follow the rules of long division and you will have:
:
..........................x^3 + 4x^2 + 8x + 14; remainder 32/(x-2)
:...........-----------------------------
(x-2) | x^4 + 2x^3 + 0x^2 - 2x + 4
