$(x + 2) \div (x^{4} - 2 x^{2} - 8)$

Step 1

Set up the polynomials to be divided. If there is not a term for every exponent, insert one with a value of $0$ .

$x^{4}$

$0 x^{3}$

$2 x^{2}$

$0 x$

$8$

$x$

$2$

Step 2

The final answer is the quotient plus the remainder over the divisor.

$0 + \frac{x^{4} - 2 x^{2} + x - 6}{x^{4} - 2 x^{2} - 8}$
