Question

Use long division to divide. Express any numbers as integers or simplified fractions. $$ \left(-6+3 x+27 x^{2}+22 x^{3}+5 x^{4}\right) \div(x+2)=\square $$

1. Write the dividend in standard form:
$$
5x^4 + 22x^3 + 27x^2 + 3x - 6
$$
We are dividing by:
$$
x+2
$$

2. Set up the long division:

$$
\require{enclose}
\begin{array}{rll}
5x^3+12x^2+3x-3 & \enclose{longdiv}{5x^4+22x^3+27x^2+3x-6} \
\end{array}
$$

3. Divide the first term of the dividend by the first term of the divisor:
$$
\frac{5x^4}{x} = 5x^3.
$$
Write $$5x^3$$ above the long division bar.

4. Multiply $$5x^3$$ by $$x + 2$$:
$$
5x^3 \cdot (x+2) = 5x^4 + 10x^3.
$$

5. Subtract this from the dividend:
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
(5x^4 + 22x^3) - (5x^4 + 10x^3) & = & 12x^3.
\end{array}
$$
Bring down the next term $$+27x^2$$ so the new expression is:
$$
12x^3 + 27x^2.
$$

6. Divide the leading term of the new expression by $$x$$:
$$
\frac{12x^3}{x} = 12x^2.
$$
Write $$12x^2$$ above the division bar next to $$5x^3$$.

7. Multiply $$12x^2$$ by $$x + 2$$:
$$
12x^2 \cdot (x+2) = 12x^3 + 24x^2.
$$

8. Subtract:
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
(12x^3 + 27x^2) - (12x^3 + 24x^2) & = & 3x^2.
\end{array}
$$
Bring down the next term $$+3x$$ resulting in:
$$
3x^2 + 3x.
$$

9. Divide the leading term:
$$
\frac{3x^2}{x} = 3x.
$$
Write $$3x$$ above the bar.

10. Multiply $$3x$$ by $$x+2$$:
$$
3x \cdot (x+2) = 3x^2+6x.
$$

11. Subtract:
$$
\begin{array}{rcl}
(3x^2+3x) - (3x^2+6x) & = & -3x.
\end{array}
$$
Bring down the next term $$-6$$ to get:
$$
-3x - 6.
$$

12. Divide:
$$
\frac{-3x}{x} = -3.
$$
Write $$-3$$ above the bar.

13. Multiply $$-3$$ by $$x+2$$:
$$
-3 \cdot (x+2) = -3x - 6.
$$

14. Subtract:
$$
(-3x-6) - (-3x-6) = 0.
$$
The remainder is $$0$$.

Thus, the quotient is:
$$
5x^3+12x^2+3x-3.
$$

The final result is:
$$
\boxed{5x^3+12x^2+3x-3}.
$$
The result of dividing $$ -6 + 3x + 27x^2 + 22x^3 + 5x^4 $$ by $$ x + 2 $$ is $$ 5x^3 + 12x^2 + 3x - 3 $$.
