Just like regular long division but now place values are powers of x. Do everything the same way!

__________|_____x________2___________________
__________|________________________________
x+1_______)____x^2_______3x_________-2
_______________x^2________x
___________________________
________________0________2x________-2
_________________________2x_________2
__________________________________________
_________________________0___________-4

Quotient is x%2B2, remainder is -4.
