Answer

$3x^3+5x+4-\dfrac{2x}{x^2-2}$

Work Step by Step

$ \begin{array}{llllllllll} & & 3x^{3} & & +5x & +4 & & & \color{red}{ \small{Quotient}} & \\ & & -- & -- & -- & -- & -- & -- & & \\ x^{2}-2 & ) & 3x^{5} & & -x^{3} & +4x^{2} & -12x & -8 & & \\ & & 3x^{5} & & -6x^{3} & & & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{ 3x^{3}(x^{2}-2) } } & \\ & & -- & -- & -- & & & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{ subtract } } & \\ & & & & 5x^{3} & +4x^{2} & -12x & -8 & & \\ & & & & 5x^{3} & & -10x & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{5x(x^{2}-2) } } & \\ & & & & -- & -- & -- & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{ subtract } } & \\ & & & & & 4x^{2} & -2x & -8 & & \\ & & & & & 4x^{2} & & -8 & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{ 4(x^{2}-2) } } & \\ & & & & & -- & -- & -- & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{ subtract } } & \\\\ & & & & & & -2x & & \color{red}{\leftarrow \small{ Remainder } } & \end{array} $ $(3x^{5}-x^{3}+4x^{2}-12x-8)\div(x^{2}-2)=$ $=3x^3+5x+4-\dfrac{2x}{x^2-2}$
