Answer

Quotient $=4x-3$ Remainder $=x+1$

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $(4x^3-3x^2+x+1)\div(x^2)$ Perform long division to obtain: $\begin{matrix} & 4x & -3 & ​& & \leftarrow &\text{Quotient}\\ &-- &-- &--&--& \\ x^2) &4x^3&-3x^2&+x&+1 & \\ ​& 4x^3 & & & & \leftarrow &4x(x^2) \\ & -- & -- & & & \leftarrow &\text{subtract} \\ & 0 & -3x^2 & & & \\ & & -3x^2 & & & \leftarrow & -3(x^2) \\ & & -- & -- & & \leftarrow & \text{subtract} \\ & & 0&x &+1& \leftarrow & \text{Remainder} ​\end{matrix}$ Checking: (Quotient)(divisor)+ Remainder $=(4x-3)(x^2)+x+1$ $=4x^3-3x^2+x+1$ $=$ Dividend Hence, the Quotient is $4x-3$ and the remainder is $x+1$.
