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-2)cancel(color(magenta)(+4x^2))cancel(-4x^2)+16x-8
=color(red)(2x^2)(x-2)color(red)(+16)(x-2)color(magenta)(+32)-8
=color(red)(2x^2)(x-2)color(red)(+16)(x-2)+24
"quotient "=color(red)(2x^2+16)," remainder "=24
rArr(2x^3-4x^2+16x-8)/(x-2)=2x^2+16x+24/(x-2)
