To divide the polynomial
6x^2+11x-3 by the polynomial
2x-1, you have to do such steps:

1 step. Multiply the polynomial
2x-1 by
3x. You get the polynomial
6x^2-3x.

2 step. Subtract the polynomial
6x^2-3x fro mthe polynomial
6x^2+11x-3:


6x^2+11x-3-(6x^2-3x)=6x^2+11x-3-6x^2+3x=14x-3.

Step 3. Multiply the polynomial
2x-1 by
7 to get the polynomial
14x-7.

Step 4. Subtract the polynomial
14x-7 from the polynomial
14x-3:


14x-3-(14x-7)=14x-3-14x+7=4.

Step 5. Write the division result:


6x^2+11x-3=(2x-1)(3x+7)+4.

Here the quotient is the polynomial
3x+7 and the remainder is the polynomial
4.

Answer: the remainder is 4.
