#\frac{13}{2}u^2 + 3u + 2#

Explanation:

The denominator is only a single term so you can split the fractions up and divide them individually: #\frac{13u^4 + 6u^3 + 4u^2}{2u^2} = \frac{13u^4}{2u^2} + \frac{6u^3}{2u^2} + \frac{4u^2}{2u^2}#, and the "#u#"s cancel out to give: #\frac{13}{2}u^2 + 3u + 2#. I hope I have explained it in enough detail.
