Answer

Quotient $Q(x)=3x-5$ Remainder $R(x)=5$.

Work Step by Step

$\frac{3x^2+x-5}{x+2}$, dividing using synthetic division: $\begin{array}{lllll} \underline{-2}| & 3 & 1 & -5 & \\ & & -6 & 10 & \\ \hline & & & & \\ & 3 & -5 & 5 & \end{array}$ $(3x^{2}+x-5)\div(x+2)=3x-5 $ $+\frac{5}{x+2}$. thus, Quotient is $Q(x)=3x-5$ and remainder is $R(x)=5$.
