Answer

$-x^{3}-2x+6=(x+1)(-x^{2}+x-3)+9$

Work Step by Step

Using synthetic division, $\left.\begin{array}{l} -1\lfloor \\ \\ \\ \end{array}\right.\begin{array}{rrrrr} -1 &0 &-2 &6& \\\hline &1 &-1 &3& \\\hline -1&1 &-3 &9& \end{array}$ $Q(x)=-x^{2}+x-3,\quad R(x)=9$ In the form $P(x)=D(x)\cdot Q(x)+R(x),$ $-x^{3}-2x+6=(x+1)(-x^{2}+x-3)+9$
