Answer

$x^{4}+7x^{3}+21x^{2}+60x+182+ \displaystyle \frac{549}{x-3}$

Work Step by Step

Dividing with $x-c\qquad...\qquad c=3.$ Don't forget to place 0's for the missing terms. $\begin{array}{rrrrrrrr} \underline{3}| &1 & 4 & 0 & -3 &2 &3 \\ & & 3 &21 &63 &180 &546 \\ & --& --&--&-- &--&--\\ &1 & 7 &21 &60 &182 & 549 \end{array}$ Quotient = $x^{4}+7x^{3}+21x^{2}+60x+182$ Remainder = $549$ $\displaystyle \frac{dividend}{divisor}=quotient+\frac{remainder}{divisor}$ $\displaystyle \frac{x^{5}+4x^{4}-3x^{2}+2x+3}{x-3}$ = $x^{4}+7x^{3}+21x^{2}+60x+182+ \displaystyle \frac{549}{x-3}$
