Answer

Quotient $Q(x)=x^3-5x^2+17x-83$ Remainder $R(x)=422$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{x^4-8x^2+2x+7}{x+5}$, dividing using synthetic division: $\begin{array}{lllll} \underline{-5}| &1& 0 & -8 & 2& 7 & \\ & & -5&25&-85 &415 & \\ \hline & & & & \\ &1& -5 & 17 & -83&422 & \end{array}$ $(x^4-8x^2+2x+7)\div(x+5)=x^3-5x^2+17x-83$ $+\frac{422}{x+5}$. thus, Quotient is $Q(x)=x^3-5x^2+17x-83$ and remainder is $R(x)=422$
