Answer:

To divide using long division, we first divide the leading term of the dividend (3r³) by the leading term of the divisor (r) to get the first term of the quotient (3r²). Then, we multiply the divisor (r + 4) by the quotient term (3r²) and subtract it from the dividend. We then bring down the next term of the dividend (11r²) and repeat the process. This will give us the quotient and the remainder.

The long division process is as follows:

(r + 4) | (3r³ +11r²-6r-18)

| 3r² (3r²)

|__

| -9r² +11r²-6r-18

|____

| -2r-18

|____

| +12r + 72

|____

| -36

|____

So the quotient is 3r² - 2r + 12 and the remainder is -36

And we can write the division as (3r³ +11r²-6r-18)÷(r + 4) = 3r² - 2r + 12 +(-36)/(r + 4)
