so dividing x-2 into x%5E4-5x%5E2%2B3x-1 and the first term will be x%5E3%29 which multiplied by x-2 = x%5E4-2x%5E3 subt this from the original and you left with -2x%5E3-5x%5E2%2B3x-1 so our next term will be -x%5E2 when multiplied by x-2 equals -2x%5E3%2B2x%5E2 now you subtract this from our last remaining terms and get -7x%5E2%2B3x-1. our next term will be -7x which when multiplied by x-2 gives us-7x%5E2%2B14x-1 which when subt from our last remaining terms gives us 11x-1. our next term will be 11 when multiplied by x-2 gives us 11x-22%29 which when subt from our last remaining term gives us 21 so if we take all our terms we have x%5E3-x%5E2-7x%2B11 with a remainder
of 21%2F%28x-2%29
