Answer

Quotient $Q(x)=2x^2-11x+58$ Remainder $R(x)=-294$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{2x^3-x^2+3x-4}{x+5}$, dividing using synthetic division: $\begin{array}{lllll} \underline{-5}| &2& -1 & 3 & -4 & \\ & & -10&55 & -290 & \\ \hline & & & & \\ &2& -11 & 58 & -294 & \end{array}$ $(2x^3-x^{2}+3x-4)\div(x+5)=2x^2-11x+58 $ $-\frac{294}{x+5}$. thus, Quotient is $Q(x)=2x^2-11x+58$ and remainder is $R(x)=-294$
