The remainder is =0 and the quotient is =x^2-3x+1

Explanation:

Let's do the long division

color(white)(aaaa)4x^3-7x^2-11x+5color(white)(aaaa)|4x+5

color(white)(aaaa)4x^3+5x^2color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)|color(red)(x^2-3x+1)

color(white)(aaaaaa)0-12x^2-11x

color(white)(aaaaaaaa)-12x^2-15x

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaa)-0+4x+5

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)+4x+5

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)+0+0

The remainder is =0 and the quotient is =x^2-3x+1
