Answer

Quotient = $\quad 2x^{2}$ Remainder = $\quad -x^{2}+x+1$

Work Step by Step

$\begin{array}{lllllll} & 2x^{2} & & & & & \\ & -- & -- & -- & -- & & \\ 2x^{3}-1 \ \ ) & 4x^{5} & +0 & +0 & -3x^{2} & +x & +1\\ & 4x^{5} & & & -2x^{2} & & \\ & -- & -- & -- & -- & -- & --\\ & & & & -x^{2} & +x & +1\\ & & & & & & \\ & & & & & & \end{array}$ Check: $(2x^{3}-1)(2x^{2})+(-x^{2}+x+1)$ $=4x^{5}-2x^{2}-x^{2}+x+1$ $=4x^{5}-3x^{2}+x+1$
