The remainder is =2 and the quotient is =2x^3+3x^2+2x+4

Explanation:

Perform a long division

color(white)(aaaa)4x^4+0x^3-5x^2+2x-10color(white)(aaaa)|2x-3

color(white)(aaaa)4x^4-6x^3color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)|2x^3+3x^2+2x+4

color(white)(aaaa)0x^4+6x^3-5x^2

color(white)(aaaaaaaa)+6x^3-9x^2

color(white)(aaaaaaaa)+0x^3+4x^2+2x

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaa)+4x^2-6x

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaa)+0x^2+8x-10

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)+8x-12

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)+2

The remainder is =2 and the quotient is =2x^3+3x^2+2x+4

(4x^4+0x^3-5x^2+2x-10)/(2x-3)=(2x^3+3x^2+2x+4)+2/(2x-3)
