Answer

$x^{2}+5x-3+\displaystyle \frac{3}{2x+3}$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccc} & &x^{2} & +5x & -3 & \\ & &--&-- &--& \\ 2x+3&) & 2x^{3} &+13x^{2}& +9x& -6 & & \\ & & 2x^{3} & +3x^{2 }& & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{x^{2}(2x+3) } } \\ & &--&-- & & & \color{red}{ \small{subtract}} \\ & & & 10x^{2}& +9x& -6 & & \\ & & & 10x^{2} & +15x& & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{5x(2x+3) } }\\ & & &--&-- & &\color{red}{ \small{subtract}} \\ & & & & -6x & -6 & \\ & & & & -6x & -9 & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{-3(2x+3) } }\\ & & & &-- & -- &\color{red}{ \small{subtract}} \\ & & & & & 3 & \end{array}$ Quotient = $x^{2}+5x-3$ Remainder = $ 3$. $\displaystyle \frac{dividend}{divisor}=quotient+\frac{remainder}{divisor}$ $\displaystyle \frac{ 2x^{3}+13x^{2}+9x-6}{2x+3}$ = $x^{2}+5x-3+\displaystyle \frac{3}{2x+3}$
