Answer

$2x^{3}-3x^{2}-2x=(2x-3)(x^{2}-1)-3$

Work Step by Step

$\left[\begin{array}{l} \\ 2x-3\ )\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \end{array}\right. \left.\begin{array}{rrrrrrr} x^{2} & & -1 & & \\ \hline 2x^{3} & -3x^{2} & -2x & & \\ 2x^{3} & -3x^{2} & & & \\ -- & -- & & & \\ & 0 & -2x & & \\ & & -2x & +3 & \\ & & -- & -- & \\ & & & -3 & \end{array}\right]$ $Q(x)=x^{2}-1,\quad R(x)=-3$ In the form $P(x)=D(x)\cdot Q(x)+R(x),$ $2x^{3}-3x^{2}-2x=(2x-3)(x^{2}-1)-3$
