Answer

Quotient $Q(x)=2x^3-5x^2+20x-80$ Remainder $R(x)=308$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{2x^4+3x^3-12}{x+4}$, dividing using synthetic division: $\begin{array}{lllll} \underline{-4}| &2& 3 & 0 & 0& -12& \\ & & -8&20&-80 & 320 & \\ \hline & & & & \\ &2& -5 & 20 & -80&308 & \end{array}$ $(2x^4+3x^3-12)\div(x+4)=2x^3-5x^2+20x-80$ $+\frac{308}{x+4}$. thus, Quotient is $Q(x)=2x^3-5x^2+20x-80$ and remainder is $R(x)=308$
