Answer

Quotient = $\quad 5x^{2}-11$ Remainder = $\quad x+20$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{array}{llllll} & 5x^{2} & & -11 & & \\ & -- & -- & -- & -- & \\ x^{2}+2 \ \ ) & 5x^{4} & & -x^{2} & +x & -2\\ & 5x^{4} & & +10x^{2} & & \\ & -- & -- & -- & -- & --\\ & & & -11x^{2} & +x & -2\\ & & & -11x^{2} & & -22\\ & & & -- & -- & --\\ & & & & +x & +20\\ & & & & & \end{array}$ Check: $(x^{2}+2)(5x^{2}-11)+(x+20)$ $=5x^{4}+10x^{2}-11x^{2}-22+x+20$ $=5x^{4}-x^{2}+x-2$
