The remainder is =0=0
and the quotient is =n^2-2n+3=n22n+3

Explanation:

Let's do the long division

color(white)(aaaa)aaaa n^3+2n^2-5n+12n3+2n25n+12color(white)(aaaa)aaaan+4n+4

color(white)(aaaa)aaaa n^3+4n^2n3+4n2color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)aaaaaaaaaaaaan^2-2n+3n22n+3

color(white)(aaaaa)aaaaa 0-2n^2-5n02n25n

color(white)(aaaaaaa)aaaaaaa -2n^2-8n2n28n

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaa)aaaaaaaaaaa 0+3n+120+3n+12

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaa)aaaaaaaaaaaaa +3n+12+3n+12

color(white)(aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa +0+0+0+0

So, the remainder is =0=0 and the quotient is =n^2-2n+3=n22n+3

If we use the remainder theorem

f(n)= n^3+2n^2-5n+12f(n)=n3+2n25n+12

f(-4)=-64+32+20+12=0f(4)=64+32+20+12=0

The remainder is =0=0
