Answer

$6x^{4}+12x^{3}+22x^{2}+48x+93+ \displaystyle \frac{187}{x-2}$

Work Step by Step

Dividing with $x-c\qquad...\qquad c=2.$ Don't forget to place 0's for the missing terms. $\begin{array}{rrrrrrrr} \underline{2}| &6 & 0 &-2 & 4 &-3 &1 \\ & & 12 &24 &44 &96 &186 \\ & --& --&--&-- &--&--\\ &6 & 12 &22 &48 &93 & 187 \end{array}$ Quotient = $6x^{4}+12x^{3}+22x^{2}+48x+93$ Remainder = $187$ $\displaystyle \frac{dividend}{divisor}=quotient+\frac{remainder}{divisor}$ $\displaystyle \frac{6x^{5}-2x^{3}+4x^{2}-3x+1}{x-2}$ = $6x^{4}+12x^{3}+22x^{2}+48x+93+ \displaystyle \frac{187}{x-2}$
