x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3
Steps
First, divide x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3: x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3 = x^2 + -2x^2 + 3x -8/x - 3
= x^2 + -2x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3
Second, divide -2x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3: -2x^2 + 3x - 8/x - 3 = -2x + -3x - 8/x - 3
= x^2 - 2x + -3x - 8/x - 3
Third, divide -3x - 8/x - 3: -3x - 8/x - 3 = -3 + -17/x - 3
= x^2 - 2x - 3 + -17/x - 3
Lastly, simplify
= x^2 - 2x - 3 - 17/x - 3
