Answer

$5x-27+\displaystyle \frac{72}{x+3}$

Work Step by Step

Dividing with (x-c) ... $c=-3$ $\begin{array}{rrrr} \underline{-3}| &5 & -12 &-8 \\ & & -15 & 81 \\ &--&--&--\\ &5 & -27 &72 \end{array}$ Quotient = $ 5x-27$ Remainder = $72$ $\displaystyle \frac{dividend}{divisor}=quotient+\frac{remainder}{divisor}$ $\displaystyle \frac{5x^{2}-12x-8}{x+3}$ = $5x-27+\displaystyle \frac{72}{x+3}$
