Perform the indicated division by synthetic division 
x%5E6+%2B+2x%5E2+-+6 divided by x+-+2

Put in placeholders for the missing powers of x:

x%5E6%2B0x%5E5%2B0x%5E4%2B0x%5E3%2B2x%5E2%2B0x-6÷%28x-2%29


2|1  0  0  0  2  0 -6
 |   2  4  8 16 36 72
  1  2  4  8 18 36 66

Answer: x%5E5%2B2x%5E4%2B4x%5E3%2B8x%5E2%2B18x%2B36%2B66%2F%28x-2%29
