Answer

$x^2+3$

Work Step by Step

The given expression, $ (x^3-2x^2+3x-6)\div(x-2) ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{x^3-2x^2+3x-6}{x-2} \\\\= \dfrac{(x^3-2x^2)+(3x-6)}{x-2} \\\\= \dfrac{x^2(x-2)+3(x-2)}{x-2} \\\\= \dfrac{(x-2)(x^2+3)}{x-2} \\\\= \dfrac{(\cancel{x-2})(x^2+3)}{\cancel{x-2}} \\\\= x^2+3 .\end{array}
