We are dividing the polynomial
2x^(2) +13x+26 by x+4

notice that
2x^(2) is x times 2x,

so if we multiply (x+4) by 2x, which gives us
2 x^(2) +8x, we can 'separate' one
2 x^(2) +8x from
2x^(2) +13x+26 to get the following simplification:


(2x^(2) +13x+26)/(x+4)= ( 2x^(2)+8 x)/(x+4) + (5x+26)/(x+4)=2x+ (5x+26)/(x+4)

similarly we notice that 5x is x times 5, so if we multiply (x+4) by 5, we get 5x+20 so we can rewrite


(5x+26)/(x+4)= (5x+20)/(x+4)+ (6)/(x+4)=5+(6)/(x+4)


(6)/(x+4) can not be simplified any further since the degree of 6, is smaller than the degree of x+4

combining our work, we have:


(2x^(2) +13x+26)/(x+4)=2x+5+(6)/(x+4)

Answer:

q(x)= 2x+5
r(x)=6
b(x)=x+4


Remark: we can solve the problem by long division or the division algorithm as well.
