Answer

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

Work Step by Step

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