Answer 2

`\frac{ - 3 {x}^(3) - 2 {x}^(2) - x - 2}{x - 2} = - 3 {x}^(2) - 8x - 17 - (36)/(x - 2)`

EXPLANATION

We want to divide

`- 3 {x}^(3) - 2 {x}^(2) - x - 2`

by

`x - 2`

We perform synthetic division to obtain:

The remainder to be -36.

The quotient is

`- 3 {x}^(2) - 8x - 17`

Therefore,

`\frac{ - 3 {x}^(3) - 2 {x}^(2) - x - 2}{x - 2} = - 3 {x}^(2) - 8x - 17 - (36)/(x - 2)`
