-2x^2-33x-169-834/(x-5)2x233x169834x5

Explanation:

"one way is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator"one way is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator

"consider the numerator"consider the numerator

color(red)(-2x^2)(x-5)color(magenta)(-10x^2)-23x^2-4x+112x2(x5)10x223x24x+11

=color(red)(-2x^2)(x-5)color(red)(-33x)(x-5)color(magenta)(-165x)-4x+11=2x2(x5)33x(x5)165x4x+11

=color(red)(-2x^2)(x-5)color(red)(-33x)(x-5)color(red)(-169)(x-5)color(magenta)(-845)+11=2x2(x5)33x(x5)169(x5)845+11

=color(red)(-2x^2)(x-5)color(red)(-33x)(x-5)color(red)(-169)(x-5)-834=2x2(x5)33x(x5)169(x5)834

"quotient "=color(red)(-2x^2-33x-169)," remainder "=-834quotient =2x233x169, remainder =834

rArr(-2x^3-23x^2-4x+11)/(x-5)2x323x24x+11x5

=-2x^3-33x-169-834/(x-5)=2x333x169834x5
