$4x^2+3x-8+\dfrac{18}{x^2+3}$

Work Step by Step

$ \begin{array}{lllllllllll} & & 4x^{2} & +3x & -8 & & & & \color{red}{ \small{quotient}} & & \\ & & -- & -- & -- & -- & -- & & & & \\ x^{2}+3 & ) & 4x^{4} & +3x^{3} & +4x^{2} & +9x & -6 & & & & \\ & & 4x^{4} & & +12x^{2} & & & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{4x^{2}(x^{2}+3) } } & & \\ & & -- & -- & -- & & & & \color{red}{ \small{subtract}} & & \\ & & & 3x^{3} & -8x^{2} & +9x & -6 & & & & \\ & & & 3x^{3} & & +9x & & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{3x(x^{2}+3) } } & & \\ & & & -- & -- & -- & & & & & \\ & & & & -8x^{2} & & -6 & & & & \\ & & & & -8x^{2} & & -24 & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{-8(x^{2}+3) } } & & \\ & & & & -- & -- & -- & & & & \\ & & & & & & 18 & & \color{red}{ \small{remainder}} & & \\ & & & & & & & & & & \end{array} $ $(4x^{4}+3x^{3}+4x^{2}+9x-6)\div(x^{2}+3)=$ = $4x^2+3x-8+\dfrac{18}{x^2+3}$
