Do you need to do as synthetic division, or is polynomial long division what you want? Either way, write the dividend in its expanded form:
.

DIVIDED BY :

X^5/x=^4. Put this above the x^5 term.
x^4*(x-1)=x^5-1*x^4. Subtract and obtain 0+x^4.
Bring down next term of dividend, the 3x^3.

x^4/x=x^3. Put this above the x^4 term of the dividend.
x^3*(x-1)=x^4-x^3. Subtract and obtain 0+4x^3.
Bring down next term of dividend, the 0*x^2.

4x^3/x=4x^2. Put this above the x^3 term of the dividend.
...
continue the the steps and process until done.
...
Answer quotient will be and remainder .
