Hi

my colleague is totally correct. TY  for the catch

					

3	2	-5	7	-3	1

		6	3	30	81

	2	1	10	27	82

2x^3 + x^2 +10x + 27 +  82/(x-3)

The other tutor made a mistake.

We'll see what it should be.  But first of all you should not write 

2x^4 - 5x^3 + 7x^2 - 3x +1/ x - 3

because you must indicate with parentheses where every numerator 
and denominator begins and ends.  You use a "{" to show where they
begin and a ")" to show where they end.  IOW, you should have

(2x^4 - 5x^3 + 7x^2 - 3x +1)/(x - 3)

Without the parentheses the only things divided are the 1 and the x.
So in the future be sure to use parentheses to show where numerators
and denominators begin and end.


3 | 2 -5  7 -3  1
  |    6  3 30 81
    2  1 10 27 82

No, it's 2,1,10,27, and 82.  The answer to the division is
