Properly stated as plain text,
(6x^4-4x+1) / (4-x)

%286x%5E4-4x%2B1%29+%2F+%284-x%29

Start the rational expression this way:
%28-1%29%286x%5E4-4x%2B1%29+%2F+%28x-4%29

Account for ALL degrees of x:
%28-1%29%286x%5E4%2B0%2Ax%5E3%2B0%2Ax%5E2-4x%2B1%29+%2F+%28x-4%29

NOW do the synthetic division, and do not forget the factor of -1 from the numerator. (Assumed that was all the help you needed.)
