Answer

$2y^{2}+y-2-\displaystyle \frac{ 2}{2y-1}$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{array}{ccccccccccc} & & 2y^{2} & +y& -2 & \\ & &--&-- &--& \\ 2y-1&) & 4y^{3} &+0 & -5y& +0 & & \\ & & 4y^{3} & -2y^{2} & & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{2y^{2}(2y-1) } } \\ & &--&-- & & & \color{red}{ \small{subtract}} \\ & & & 2y^{2} & -5y& +0 & \\ & & & 2y^{2} & -y & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{y(2y-1) } }\\ & & &--&-- & &\color{red}{ \small{subtract}} \\ & & & & -4y & +0 & \\ & & & & -4y & +2 & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{-2(2y-1) } }\\ & & & &-- & -- &\color{red}{ \small{subtract}} \\ & & & & & -2 & \end{array}$ Quotient = $2y^{2}+y-2$ Remainder = $ -2$. $\displaystyle \frac{dividend}{divisor}=quotient+\frac{remainder}{divisor}$ $\displaystyle \frac{ 4y^{3}-5y }{2y-1}$ = $2y^{2}+y-2-\displaystyle \frac{ 2}{2y-1}$
