Explanation:
One way is to use the divisor as a factor in the numerator.
color(magenta)"Add/Subtract"Add/Subtract terms that are being added/subtracted as a consequence.
"consider the numerator"consider the numerator
color(red)(4x)(x^2+4)color(magenta)(-16x)color(red)(+5)(x^2+4)color(magenta)(-20)-2x-54x(x2+4)−16x+5(x2+4)−20−2x−5
=color(red)(4x)(x^2+4)color(red)(+5)(x^2+4)-18x-25=4x(x2+4)+5(x2+4)−18x−25
"quotient " =color(red)(4x+5), "remainder " =-(18x+25)quotient =4x+5,remainder =−(18x+25)
rArr(4x^3+5x^2-2x-5)/(x^2+4)=4x+5-(18x+25)/(x^2+4)⇒4x3+5x2−2x−5x2+4=4x+5−18x+25x2+4
