The quotient is =x^2-x-12=x2x12 and the remainder is =0=0

Explanation:

Let's do the long division

color(white)(aaaa)aaaax^4+2x^3+x^2x4+2x3+x2color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)aaaaaaaaaaaaaaax^2-x-12x2x12

color(white)(aaaa)aaaa0-x^3-14x^2-25x0x314x225x

color(white)(aaaaaa)aaaaaa-x^3-2x^2-xx32x2x

color(white)(aaaaaaaaa)aaaaaaaaa0-12x^2-24x-12012x224x12

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaa)aaaaaaaaaaa-12x^2-24x-1212x224x12

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-0-0-0000

The quotient is =x^2-x-12=x2x12 and the remainder is =0=0

x^2-x-12x2x12

Explanation:

" "x^4+x^3-13x^2-25x-12 x4+x313x225x12
color(red)(x^2)(x^2+2x+1) -> ul(x^4 +2x^3+x^2" " larr" subtract"
" "0 -x^3-14x^2-25x-12
color(red)(-x)(x^2+2x+1)->color(white)(.)ul(-x^3-2x^2color(white)(.)-x larr" subtract")
" "0-12x^2-24x-12
color(red)(-12)(x^2+2x+1)->" "color(white)(.)ul(-12x^2 -24x-12larr" subtract")
" "0" " +0" "+0

There is no remainder

(x^4+x^3-13x^2-25x-12)/(x^2+2x+1)" " =" " color(red)(x^2-x-12
