Answer

$ 3x^3+6x^2+10x+10$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $(3x^4-2x^2-10x-20)\div(x-2)$ Rewrite as $(3x^4+0x^3-2x^2-10x-20)\div(x-2)$ The value of $c$ is $2$ Use synthetic division $\begin{matrix} 2) &3&0&-2&-10&-20 \\ & &6&12&20&20 \\ & --&--&--& --&--\\ & 3&6&10&10&0 ​\end{matrix}$ The quotient is $3x^3+6x^2+10x+10$ and the remainder is $0$. The answer is $\Rightarrow Quotient + \frac{Remainder}{Divisor}$ $\Rightarrow 3x^3+6x^2+10x+10+\frac{0}{x-2}$. $\Rightarrow 3x^3+6x^2+10x+10$.
