Answer 2

`x^2-2x+4`

Explanation:

The given expression is

`(x^3+8)/(x+2)`

Recall and use the following property to factor the numerator;

`a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)`

`(x^3+2^3)/(x+2)=((x+2)(x^2-2x+2^2))/((x+2))`

This will give us;

`(x^3+2^3)/(x+2)=((x+2)(x^2-2x+4))/((x+2))`

Simplify;

`(x^3+2^3)/(x+2)=x^2-2x+4`
