Answer

Quotient: $4x^{2}-11x+23$ remainder: $-45.$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{array}{llllll} & 4x^{2} & -11x & +23 & & \\ & -- & -- & -- & -- & \\ x+2 \ \ &\left.\right) 4x^{3} & -3x^{2} & +x & +1 & \\ & 4x^{3} & +8x^{2} & & & \\ & -- & -- & & & \\ & & -11x^{2} & +x & & \\ & & -11x & -22x & & \\ & & -- & -- & & \\ & & & 23x & +1 & \\ & & & 23x & +46 & \\ & & & -- & -- & \\ & & & & -45 & \\ & & & & & \end{array}$ Check: $(x+2)\left(4x^{2}-11x+23\right)+(-45)$ $=4x^{3}-11x^{2}+23x+8x^{2}-22x+46-45$ $=4x^{3}-3x^{2}+x+1$
