(2x^4−5x^3−x^2−17x−15)/(x^2−2)=2x^2-5x+3-(27x+9)/(x^2-2)2x45x3x217x15x22=2x25x+327x+9x22

Explanation:

(2x^4−5x^3−x^2−17x−15)-:(x^2−2)=2x^2-5x+3(2x45x3x217x15)÷(x22)=2x25x+3
color(white)(.)(2x^4+0-4x^2)/.2x4+04x2
color(white)(.....)-5x^3+3x^2-17x-15
color(white)(.....)(-5x^3+0+10x)/
color(white)(...................)3x^2-27x-15
color(white)(...................)(3x^2+0-6)/
color(white)(.........................)-27x-9

(2x^4−5x^3−x^2−17x−15)/(x^2−2)=2x^2-5x+3-(27x+9)/(x^2-2)
