$ \displaystyle \frac{2x^{4}-x^{3}+9x^{2}}{x^{2}+4} =2x^{2}-x+1+\frac{4x-4}{x^{2}+4}$

Work Step by Step

$\left[\begin{array}{l} \\ \\ x^{2}+4\ )\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \end{array}\right. \left.\begin{array}{lllll} 2x^{2} & -x & +1 & & \\ \hline 2x^{4} & -x^{3} & +9x^{2} & & \\ 2x^{4} & & +8x^{2} & & \\ -- & -- & -- & & \\ & -x^{3} & +x^{2} & & \\ & -x^{3} & & -4x & \\ & -- & -- & -- & \\ & & x^{2} & +4x & \\ & & x^{2} & & +4\\ & & -- & -- & --\\ & & & 4x & -4 \end{array}\right]$ $ \displaystyle \frac{2x^{4}-x^{3}+9x^{2}}{x^{2}+4} =2x^{2}-x+1+\frac{4x-4}{x^{2}+4}$
