Answer

Quotient $Q(x)=-x^2-7x-47$ Remainder $R(x)=-325$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{-x^3+2x+4}{x-7}$, dividing using synthetic division: $\begin{array}{lllll} \underline{7}| &-1& 0 & 2 & 4 & \\ & & -7&-49 & -329 & \\ \hline & & & & \\ &-1& -7 & -47 & -325 & \end{array}$ $(-x^3+2x+4)\div(x-7)=-x^2-7x-47 $ $-\frac{325}{x-7}$. thus, Quotient is $Q(x)=-x^2-7x-47$ and remainder is $R(x)=-325$
