The quotient is =color(red)(2w^2-3w+4)

Explanation:

Let's do the long division

color(white)(aaaa)2w^3+3w^2-5w+1color(white)(aaaa)|color(blue)(w+3)

color(white)(aaaa)2w^3+6w^2color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaa)|color(red)(2w^2-3w+4)

color(white)(aaaaaa)0-3w^2-5w

color(white)(aaaaaaaa)-3w^2-9w

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaa)-0+4w+1

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaa)+4w+12

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)+0-11

Therefore

The remainder is =-11

The quotient is =color(red)(2w^2-3w+4)
